Today's featured snack is somewhat of a mystery. Its specific name is unknown, and for some reason when I try googling Aji Ichiban I can't seem to find a definitive product list. Regardless, this is something I love love love and just can't get enough of.
I asked my dad and my brother to buy some dried fish snacks from Aji Ichiban, and I got exactly what I wanted. I'm not sure what kind of fish its made out of, but if anyone out there knows what this is, let me know!
Describing the experience of eating these is definitely a challenge, but if I had to try I'd say its like eating spicy fish strips with the consistency of home-made paper. Yeah, that was a really unappetizing description. BUT SERIOUSLY, this stuff is so good and so addictive. If I said that the picture above depicted exactly how much of this stuff I eat in one sitting, I'd totally be lying.
The only way to eat this is by the mouth full! Grab a fist full and nom nom nom!
