I looked online to see if there was a store in Tokyo selling something similar and found Kobaya Honten.
Most of Kobaya Honten's shops are in Chiba prefecture but they do have a tiny shop near the JR Kanda station.
They sell peanuts and different arare.
And during the winter, they also sell yakiimo (roasted sweet potato).
Some of the types I bought were with green tea, bits of dried ramen noodles...At least now I know where I can find these and it is closer than going all the way to Chiba prefecture...I'll be back!

they all look delicious and so much better than the generic stuff I get here.
Thanks Rowena :) most of these arare in Japan seem "fresher" than the stuff I've bought in Hawaii.
Take care.

you know those sakura peanut arare you like? I found them down here in Marukai and Longs! But, the ones Marukai had, had an earlier expiration date, like sometime in 01/19. They were fine. The ones we bought from Longs had expiration date of 3/19 but they tasted weird so we tossed them. Long's regular price was $3.99 and Marukai's sale price was $3.99.
Strange, huh.
