This set is trial Japanese snack Dagashi Box.You’ll be able to try if you have not eaten those before.Whilst the modern dagashi used to be developed after World War 2, dagashi has been around since the Edo period (1603-1868), though the region of origin is unknown. “Dagashi”, made from starch or corn, used to be the commoner equivalent of the more expensive “jōgashi”, which used to be higher quality and made from white sugar. Modern dagashi experienced its greatest popularity from the 1950s to the early 1980s in Japan when dagashiyas were common and a staple after-school hangout spot for younger students. Then again, in the early to mid- 1980s, dagashiya stores began to diversify their products or were replaced by convenience stores. As of 2016, dagashi can still be found in the occasional dagashiya or ordered online. Culture expos in Japan (especially for schools) on occasion include dagashi and dagashiya displays.
Dagashi refers to cheap candies and snack foods. Dagashi are comparable to American penny candy. The word “dagashi” is derived from the Japanese words “da” (“futile” or “negligible”) and “kashi” (snacks).
The low price and fun packaging is designed to attract children with small allowances, and “dagashi” came to be referred to as the small candies that children can find the money for with pocket money.
Most dagashi are packaged in bright, childish wrapping and on occasion come with a small toy or prize. The toys are continuously small figurines, and a common prize is a randomized prize which will allow the holder to claim a second free snack. Dagashi was sold in stores specializing primarily in dagashi called “dagashiya” .
