Dagashi

Dagashi are cheap, kid-friendly sweets and snacks often found in small shops. Dagashi, also known as kitschy confectionery, are popular among children in Japan. It was common to find them in stationery stores near the school back then but recently, I've been seeing more "Dagashi-ya," popping up in shopping malls and other commercial buildings. What's surprising is that even after so many decades, they are still ridiculously cheap.
