We spotted all sorts of cool Japanese goods, but what stole our attention has to be the candy from Kracie Popin' Cookin'. You know the ones where you make classic Japanese dishes only tiny and made out of candy? Yup, you can cop a box or two, or 10, here starting at around P200 here. We also spotted Fujiya Milky candy and many more treats.
