Want to take your taste buds on a global tour? Aihua International Market features chips, sweets, and soda from around the world. Try these four.
Ramune
Common at hibachi restaurants, this Japanese soda has a secret: Remove the cap, push a glass marble into the Codd-neck bottle, and watch your drink fizz.
Bungeo-ppang
Meaning “carp bread” in Korean, this fish-shaped puff pastry usually is stuffed with a sweetened red bean paste made from azuki beans, which you might mistake for chocolate. It’s a popular winter street food, but at Aihua, you can buy it in a box of small cakes.
Plantain Chips (Platanitos)
Made by Miami, Florida-based Mayté, these healthy snacks are popular in Latin American, Caribbean, and African countries and some Southeast Asian and Pacific Island nations. The flavors range from sweet to savory.
KitKat Mini Yokubari Adult Sweetness Double Matcha & Original
This dual-flavored version of KitKats is imported from Japan and brings together the slight bitterness of matcha with the taste of classic Hershey chocolate.
