I officially have a new favorite snack. Pumpkin flavored Pretz! It is a unique blend of... I don't even know. It's just tasty as heck. They're little stick crackers, much like Pocky and they're a little salty and a little sweet. To be more precise, it is kabocha flavored, which is a type of Japanese pumpkin. Growing up, I was sort of on the fence with kabocha. My mom loved to cook it with just a little bit of soy sauce and sugar which is delightful, but my father always hated kabocha because he says it was one of the few things they had to eat during the war when he was a kid in Japan so he grew to hate it. It wasn't until we lived in Japan that I had a newfound love for it. Now it's used in pastas and all kinds of dishes in Japan. We even found mini ones in the produce shop by our house in Kunimi. So in conclusion, I highly recommend this new flavor of Pretz. Next on my list is tomato basil Pretz. Hmm...
