It was my first time visiting and I'm thankful I did as I was able to select from a variety of popcorn flavors and combinations. I love how unique and Asian-influenced these combinations are, which made my visit here so eye opening! I'm typically a classic kettle corn type of girl, so I purchased a medium size kettle and I also got the Japanese matcha combo! This one has matcha powder, butter, furikake, and kaki mochi. I can't wait to go back to try the Volcano flavor! I want to highlight the associate, Redie (or Ready, I need to ask for her name spelling again!). She was so incredible patient, generous, and kind. This is a family owned and operated business and I am happy to support this brand. It's also delicious!

The local style is SO good! The perfect combo of sweet kettle corn and the savory kakimochi and furikake. I also love that you can choose the colors you'd like the popcorn to be. We went with red and black to match my son's F1 birthday theme. I usually don't care for kettle corn because most I've had has been over coated and too sweet for my taste. But this one? I've already ate like 3 bags of the extras from the party. I also got multiple compliments from our guests on how good it was.

They're a small kiosk inside Pearlridge, right next to TJ Maxx. There's usually a few minute wait since the popcorn is made fresh to order and there's only one employee, but it's definitely worth the wait! So far I've only tried the volcano, which is a hurricane mix with kakimochi and furikake. The popcorn is always crisp and evenly buttered with the perfect kakimochi ratio. They have 3 size options - you'll want to get the large because they're so good you could finish half the bag in one sitting.

Their puff rice snack is absolutely delicious... so light and crunchy and just the right amount of sweetness. I'm so glad I got the information from the young lady at the booth. I tried the one with the macadamia nuts while I was at the center and loved it, so that's what I mostly purchased, but I also got a bag of the one with the ginger. These are packaged so nicely that I'm going to include them in the Christmas gift bags I give out for the holidays to some well deserving friends. Each bag was only $8 at their factory (was $8.50 at the center). I've seen them for sale at Don Quixote for $10.50 a bag, so I feel like I got a bargain. On top of that, they gave me a great little reuseable shopping bag in which to carry my purchase. At the factory, you can see them making batches of these wonderful treats. They were kind enough to let me take pictures of them at work. The yummy smells floated through the air. Along with the bags I purchased, the young lady threw in a bunch of different flavor sample packages, too. Maybe this will help me decide which flavors of these amazing semi-sweet snacks I'll purchase next time! Yummy!!
