AK brought home another set of munchies, this time from JAS Mart. We tried a snack called Tamanegi-san. Tamanegi-san can be roughly translated to Mr. Onion.

The bag contains what can only be described as a cross between Cheez Puffs and Funyuns. The consistency was similar to Cheez Puffs (not Cheetos mind you, those are kind of crunchy hard), airy, insubstantial, with powerful onion flavor. Everything was going well until we were reminded by the imagery on the bag that Tamanegi-san apparently harvests his own young w/ a shovel to be made into onion puffs. After I realized the systematic commoditization of the smiling onion-headed youth of today, I could eat no more.
