Japan is like a parallel universe. Here in the land of the free, it’s customary to wash down a mouthful of Cool Ranch Doritos with a refreshing swig of Pepsi. In the land of the rising sun, you’ll find those same tasty snacks, but the corn chips could be anchovy-flavored, and that bottle of Pepsi might taste of spicy, bitter ginger.

日本好像處在另一個平行世界里。在美國這片自由之地，人們常往嘴里塞一把多力多滋玉米片（Cool Ranch Doritos），再喝一大口清涼的百事可樂（Pepsi）。你在日本也可以找到這些美味可口的零食，但玉米片成了鳳尾魚風味，而瓶裝的百事可樂可能是辛辣苦澀的姜味。

We’ve cobbled together this list of Japanese-exclusive flavors of popular munchies. From squid ink–flavored ice cream to “man-scented” gum, some of these flavors really leave us scratching our heads.

我們收集整理了那些具有日本特色和風味的名點小食。從墨魚汁味冰淇淋到“男人香”味口香糖，有些味道真讓我們摸不著頭腦。
