the first kanji is the kanji for person
人
at first, since the font is a little stylised, i thought it was the Kanji for enter. 入って
Honey and soy sauce is a pretty common stir fry sauce combination. I'm a fan of these types of rice crackers but I prefer the spicy kind.
These seem to be a popular gift bag item. I'm fairly certain it's because they don't taste particularly good. That said my kids love them. Thinking back though i think it's just because they love doraemon. From memory they tend not to finish it since it taste like chemicals.
I'm always dissapointed by these. I think it's because they are called pies but don't feel anything like a pie to me. Perhaps if they were called butter cookies i'd like them.
japanese chip flavours are great. Can't go wrong with a pack of chips in Japan.
I agree, the sweets here are hit or miss. I am currently going through a bit of a kit kat phase but when I'm getting sweets i tend to get either country ma'am or alfont. I noticed that in that bag of sweets there is one country ma'am.
edit: I see you weren't keen on country ma'am, well when you live here sometimes you need a cookie like back home.
Looking at the bag it looks like you also got one of the snacks my kids like getting. The ones that look like m&ms. They taste like m&ms too.
That might still be in the bag. It was misplaced and I just found it again! (My work space is kinda… cluttered).
By the way, I noticed you were calling katakana kanji and saying that you couldn't find the kanji. I think you may be mixing up what kanji is.
Kanji is the Chinese characters while katakana and hiragana is the Japanese letters derived from Chinese characters. Katakana is the alphabet used to write foreign words transplanted into English. Like minibar.

I thought, because I couldn’t find that character in hiragana or katakana that it might’ve been a kanji instead. Some of them were a bit tricky thanks to the “font” they used, but that character eluded me. That was “Jin”?
I had a couple of books with starter kanji, but I lost them when I moved last. They’re still in some box somewhere….
Yes.
Hito if it's on its own and nin if it is a counter for people and Jin if it's part of a word. Like gaijin, which is foreigner.
I don’t know if it’s worse than French, but all the descriptor words depending on what’s being counted sure are unusual to me.
Yeah gaijin is considered rude now. It is still common enough but also it has generally been accepted as rude since it would be more accurate to translate it as outsiders. Its quite common for expats to own it and call themselves gaijin much to the confusion of Japanese well meaners
