I received a popular truffle chocolate with almond chocolate at USJ! Both were rich in flavor, deep in taste, and satisfying. I would love to have them again.【Menu received】・Truffle Chocolate SN21 (SNOOPY, WOODSTOCK AND FRIENDS) 1,300 yen・Almond Chocolate (Pistachio flavor MINIONS ALMOND CHOCOLATE -PISTACHIO-) 1,100 yen

I received this souvenir from USJ (^_^) It was crispy and sweet, with a cookie-like taste! It's similar to a tamagobolo. Also, the cute illustration of Snoopy and Charlie hugging is adorable (*≧u≦)

Get off at Universal City Station. Enter Universal Studios Japan and walk a little further to the street where souvenir shops are located on both sides. On the right side of the street, there is a souvenir shop that offers a variety of USJ character souvenirs. It has a quieter atmosphere compared to the Universal Studio Store across the street. ※ From January 31, 2018, the price for a 1-day pass to USJ is ¥7,900 for adults (tax included). I visited around 1 pm on a weekday in February 2018 and noticed that there weren't many people buying souvenirs in the afternoon, possibly because USJ has a no re-entry policy. This means you can shop leisurely without the crowds. Just before leaving the park, I remembered something I forgot to buy, so I used this shop. As a food reviewer, I felt compelled to try the Harry Potter series' Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. The Harry Potter goods section had a different vibe from other merchandise areas. I was about to purchase the beans when I was captivated by the beautiful design of the frog chocolate box, but the price of the beans turned out to be higher than expected, so I gave up on buying them. There were two types of Bertie Bott's Beans available: a large box and a tin case with smaller packets inside, with the tin case being more expensive. When I asked a male staff member about the difference between the two, he explained that the amount of beans was almost the same, but the box was closer to the original story. I purchased the beans with an expiration date of May 31, 2019, which was quite long, making the box a more affordable choice for a lonely person like me. The price I paid on February 1, 2018, including tax, was as follows: Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans (box) ¥1,800. 170g of jelly beans for ¥1,800... USJ is truly terrifying. Despite the name, Bertie Bott's Beans actually have twenty flavors, including delicious ones like banana, green apple, marshmallow, blueberry, cinnamon, watermelon, cotton candy, cherry, lemon candy, and candied fruits, as well as suspicious ones like booger, earwax, black pepper, vomit, soap, dirt, grass, and rotten egg. The beans with suspicious flavors have distinctive patterns on the surface, making it easy to distinguish and avoid any mix-ups. I tried all the delicious flavors, with the marshmallow flavor impressing me with its sweetness. The cinnamon and cherry flavors look very similar, making it hard to tell them apart visually. I also tried some of the suspicious flavors and here are my thoughts: The soap flavor reminded me of accidentally tasting a toilet air freshener. I couldn't really tell what the grass flavor tasted like. If you're not a fan of sweet treats, you might want to include marshmallow flavor in the suspicious category.

After the New Year's Eve countdown, I visited Universal Studios Japan on New Year's Day. I had fun exploring the various attractions, but I found myself getting bored quite quickly as most of them were video-based. The park has definitely evolved and become more attractive compared to over 10 years ago when I last visited. However, I still feel that the variety of attractions and restaurants is lacking compared to Tokyo Disneyland Resort. I also find it disappointing that they charge for Fast Passes. The souvenirs also seemed a bit overpriced to me. I stopped by California Confectionery to buy some souvenirs before leaving. The store seemed to be heavily promoting Minions, with more Minion merchandise than other characters. The store was spacious and quiet, as most people were enjoying the attractions. I bought some persimmon seeds for my father who enjoys drinking, and some for my mother who teaches tea ceremonies. However, my father didn't seem to like them very much, so I ended up with a small portion. The persimmon seeds were easy to eat from the small Tetra Pak packaging. The salty soy sauce flavor and the sour plum flavor were quite refreshing. I also bought Snoopy cookies for my partner's family, Elmo chocolate crunch for my brother's family, and Minion potato chips for myself as a souvenir. The Minion potato chips came in a cute packaging with two different designs inside the box. They tasted similar to Calbee's crispy potato chips, and the salted butter flavor was quite good. If you visit USJ, be sure to stop by California Confectionery for some souvenirs.

I received a souvenir from a female coworker who loves One Piece at my workplace. Even though I said I could stay until the end because work was running late, she insisted on giving me the gift and it was a summer-limited cookie in the shape of a One Piece character. After eating it, I displayed it in my room. The cookie was delicious and the characters on it were Ace and Luffy. It made me wonder if in the end, having friends is the most valuable treasure. I am curious about how Glass Mask and One Piece will end.

I went to Universal Studios and received a souvenir♪ Grateful♪ The cookies with cute illustrations of Snoopy and friends are detailed and colorful, making them lovely cookies♪ They are crispy on the outside and moist inside, delicious v(-ω◕❀) California Confectionery is conveniently located near Park Gate, with three shops connected together (Pq’v｀◆) They offer popular sweets and souvenirs in the park (❀≧◡≦❀) The entrance of this shop is modeled after a shop featured in the movie "Pretty Woman," making it a good spot for commemorative photos~(*ゝωб*)b Be sure to stop by♪

Went to USJ with a friend for a HAPPY Halloween♪ This year, the future of 2015 from Back to the Future has arrived♪ Let's ride the attractions together♪ But instead of the usual rides, at night they had a Back to the Future cursed version (ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ I was curious to try it out♪ They really put in effort to keep it interesting♪ It was quite scary♪ My friend was so scared that even though I was sitting next to them, they were screaming when they felt something touch their leg(笑) At night, there were zombies all over the park, so my friend was clinging to me in fear (笑) As closing time approached, we went to look for souvenirs and found a great variety of Halloween items♪ Even though some shelves were empty, the staff were working hard to restock, so we were able to buy what we wanted♪ There were so many options to choose from♪ I decided to go for a box of assorted sweets for 1700 yen♪ It was a bit pricey, but with 37 pieces inside, it's a convenient snack to have♪ The chocolates were delicious♪ I might finish them sooner than I thought♪ I also bought Jaga Moppy for 1200 yen (4 pieces) which I had been curious about before♪ My friend also bought it♪ It's like a thicker version of Jagariko, crunchy and tasty, but the quantity was a bit less than expected(;´･ω･) The lineup of products had changed since my last visit a month and a half ago, so if there's something you like, it's better to buy it then because it might not be available next time♪

[2016/01] I received Minion cookies as a souvenir (*^^*) I got a set of two cans, and I chose the DAVE one. The banana chocolate chip cookies were delicious♪ Of course, I kept the cans as decorations (lol) I would like to visit the Minion Mart that opened in March 2015. [2015/08] I had the opportunity to eat Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans before, but I was too scared to try them. This time, I tried them with my friends (>.<) - Delicious flavors include sugared fruits, green apple, lemon, cherry, etc. - Average flavors include watermelon, blueberry, etc. - Not great but still edible flavors include grass, earwax, etc. - Impossible flavors include vomit, rotten egg, dirt. Vomit and rotten egg are just too much for me with the smell alone (T-T) But, I thought it was fun to eat them with everyone. It was actually enjoyable (lol) [2015/04] At the shop near the entrance, they have various character products like Sesame Street, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Snoopy, Pink Panther, Spider-Man, Harry Potter, etc. I quickly bought a few of ● El Mayo Chips (¥1000) ● Chocolate Chip Cookies (¥1100) ● JAWS Arare & Peanuts (¥680) because I didn't have time to choose carefully (lol) JAWS Arare & Peanuts have been around for a while, but they are individually packaged, making them easy to eat. When I first went to USJ, I bought JAWS accessories at Amity Village, and on the way back, I remembered and regretted, "Why didn't I wear them!?" (^.^;)

It's been 4 months since I last visited USJ♪ I went with my friends this time and rode the Hollywood Dream roller coaster backwards♪ The acceleration from the back was a bit nauseating but also thrilling♪ Out of the 4 rides, only 1 was facing forward, so there was a huge line for the backward ride★ While the forward ride had a 50-minute wait, the backward ride had a 5.5-hour wait★ Even with the single ride line, I still had to wait for 2 hours★ I'm not a fan of waiting in line for food, but at USJ, I'm more willing to wait in line than for food★ My friend wanted to buy a souvenir for her daughter, so we went to this shop. While browsing around, I found a cute can of pink panther peach candies with a silly face on them♪ I decided to buy some for my son too♪ I searched for "Assassination Classroom" goods at a shop outside the park, but they only had plush toys and memo pads, so I settled for this candy as a souvenir for the day♪ It's a pretty pink candy♪ When I gave it to my son at home, he didn't seem too excited and just said thank you. However, he seems to be using the empty can for something. When I secretly opened it to see what was inside, I found a few 500 yen coins... Saving up 500 yen coins? I wonder who he takes after with this frugal personality. Definitely not meｗ

Today, the Nintendo area "Super Nintendo World" at USJ opened. I received a souvenir, the "USJ Official Super Mario Assorted Sweets Drawer Block" for 2,300 yen (tax included). It includes 8 print cookies, 8 molded chocolates, 6 block crunches, and 8 coin-shaped cookies in 4 drawers. It's a bit pricey, but it's so cute and delicious. I enjoyed it a lot.

R-chan, a college student, said that the Minion chocolate at USJ is cute, just like her daughter, and that BKBK is also a great place.

On 2023.5.8 (Monday), I received a souvenir of minion-shaped dorayaki. They were cute, bite-sized minion-shaped dorayaki in plain and tiramisu flavors. They had a gentle sweetness and were delicious. Thank you for the treat!

"In Kansai, at Universal Studios Japan, commonly known as 'Uni'. I received souvenirs from two friends who went to 'Halloween Horror Nights'. They said the 'Chucky's Insanity Ward' attraction was really scary. The trunk case they brought has cookies and two types of chocolate crunch. The crunch has more pieces compared to the canned version I received before, made by the same manufacturer. Minions are popular in the park, but the adventurous white beagle dog is still loved across generations. The trunk case is cute and can be displayed after eating the treats. The other souvenir, a package of frog chocolates, is a fun gift, especially for Harry Potter fans or reptile lovers. The chocolates are solid and have a good texture, not hollow inside. They are delicious and not too sweet. I enjoyed these souvenirs that my friends carefully chose for me."

My son brought back a souvenir from USJ. He went there with his friends. He got me cute Minion cookies in a can. I've never seen a Minion before, but I know they like bananas. There were banana-shaped cookies and banana-flavored cookies inside. There were also cookies shaped like Minions. I'm happy to receive this gift. Usually, I would throw away the cans, but since he bought them for me, I'll find a way to use them.

I received a gift from a coworker who went to Universal Studios. The package had cute characters like Snoopy and Hello Kitty. The contents were easy to eat with flavors like soy sauce, salad, and curry.

I received a souvenir from someone who went to USJ. It's relatively easy to travel to Yamaguchi Prefecture, so I often receive souvenirs from there. This time, I got an assortment of cookies, Minions cookies to be exact. When I opened the box, two round cans came out - Stewart and Dave. The cans are so cute! Stewart is plain flavor, while Dave is banana chocolate chip flavor. Stewart's plain cookies have cute prints on them. The cookies themselves didn't have any special taste, but the cuteness of the cans is just great. The regular price for this snack is 1500 yen, but the cans alone are worth more than 1000 yen. If you buy this through a proxy service online, it would cost over 3000 yen. If I ever go to USJ, I definitely want to buy this as a souvenir. By the way, I added this store, Universal Studios Japan California Confectionery, as a new entry. However, I mistakenly typed "California" as "California" and had to request a correction from the Tabelog office. I'm sorry to the staff at the store.
