Seattle popcorn maker, Kukuruza, opened a shop in Osaka late March. (don't you love their name?! I do. Apparently it means "corn" in Russian.)
They sell 9 different flavors and one flavor of the month.
The flavor for April is Cashew Caramel (shown above).
This past Saturday, I was in Umeda a little earlier than usual, so I queued up for this popcorn.
Not knowing what to expect since I was the first in line, I entered the store and proceeded to give them my order.
Little did I know that I was at the "tasting" area, and was directed to the register area for my purchases.
I like that the cashew caramel has a nice ratio of nuts to popcorn.
We also tried the Buffalo & Bleu Cheese...this one was created to resemble Buffalo Wings.
The bleu cheese is tangy. Not spicy. This popcorn is mixed with caramel corn. The sweet-salty combo was our favorite.
I'll be back.

It's so funny - the Seattle shop is fairly popular, but there's another shop in Bellevue (suburbs) in a mall that is almost always empty. I never knew it was so popular until I heard it was in Japan, haha!
That is funny K!
Take care.
