Sway Sweets & Snack Journal

Reviewed, Rated, and Relished—One Bite at a Time with Tokyo’s Snack-Loving Girl, Kaori.

Hi! I’m Kaori, one of the Sway members based right here in Tokyo – and I’m completely, unapologetically obsessed with Japanese snacks. 

From juicy, too-good-to-be-true peach gummies to savoury convenience store classics, limited-edition seasonal treats (yes, even award-winning ones!) and nostalgic childhood favourites – I’m always on the hunt for my next snack fix. 

This journal is where I share my daily discoveries: flavour reviews, texture talk, drool-worthy photos, and tips on where to find each treat. 

Whether you’re planning a trip to Japan and looking for a bit of snack inspiration for your mid-morning elevenses or an afternoon pick-me-up, or you simply want to feel a little closer to Japan from wherever you are – this journal is for anyone who believes Japanese snacks are in a league of their own, and the true soul of everyday joy. 

So come snack with me – let’s explore Japan, one delicious bite at a time!
