 Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2008 4:02 am Post subject: Finding American Candy in Tokyo |
 |
|
Hi guys, sorry for the simple question, but I'm looking specifically for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups somewhere in Tokyo. No luck finding them so far, I've scoured a number of import food shops but I only find Kit Kats and Butterfingers. I've talked to a number of natives who've had them and love them, so I imagine there has to be some place to buy them here. It's for a Christmas present for friend of mine and I'd really like to find these for him if I can.
Anyone know of a store in the greater Tokyo area that sells Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? |

| There was a foreign shop in Ueno Station. I found a lot of good stuff in there. It's been awhile, but it's near an escalator as you walk out towards Ameyoko. Not the same entrance as the one with a Starbucks, although it's possible it's changed since 2007. |

Cherryflakes,
I'm curious, did you ever find any Reeses? |

Thanks for the suggestions! I had a chance to check both Costco and Carrefour this weekend, though neither had the candy I was looking for.
I haven't seen that shop in Ueno, even though I go there quite often, but next time I'm in the area I'll look again. |

I just had a flashback, and it's right near a really small escalator. One where you wonder why somebody can't walk up 5 steps. At the top of the stairs is one of those coffee shops, Dotour, if that's correct?
Gosh, the names of places goes quickly. |

I have never seen reeses peanut butter cups in Japan, and it also struck me as something that would sell very well here.
Hope you can find some though.
Good Luck.
