It was 10 yen in Japanese yen from the beginning of sales, but the price was raised to 12 yen.
No.2 Kinako stick

Kinako sticks are traditional snacks made by kneading sugar, starch syrup, and other ingredients into sticks and dusting them with kinako (roasted soybean flour).

No.3 Potato fries
This sweet is a dagashi made by coating potato powder and wheat flour in a tempura-like batter and deep-frying it.
Launched in 1980, sales doubled, especially from 2011 to 2020, selling 75 million bags annually. The reason for the increase in sales is that people who used to buy them as cheap sweets when they were children have grown up and are now buying them as snacks to go with alcohol, and are now being bought by a wide range of generations.
