## Prequel

Apparently, the pork cutlet was the trigger for everyone to go to a dashi store.

## Dagashiya Cultural Notes

Dagashi are Japanese snacks and sweets sold at a low price, offered an alternative to the expensive wagashi. The earliest iteration was Ichimon Gashi, or one-coin candy. Made of grains combined with syrup, this snack was affordable and popular with Japanese kids. Dagashi found their way into Dagashi-ya, candy stores aimed at children that offered simple sweets and snacks run locally that kept their price points low so kids with a little extra change could try something new.

## Cultural Notes

#### Ramune

Ramune is a Japanese carbonated soft drink. “Ramune” (ラムネ) is from the English word“lemonade,” but the soda doesn’t taste quite like lemonade, nor does it taste like clear, lemon-lime soft drinks Sprite or 7-Up, though the flavor is similar.  It comes in a heavy glass bottle whose mouth is sealed by a round marble (instead of a cap) due to the pressure of the carbonated contents.

#### Koneriame

Koneriame, also known as Neriame is a Japanese candy. Translated to English the koneriame is knead candy but in America there isn't anything comparable to it. It often comes in a package with two sticks that are coated in the substance. Once opened you take the two chopsticks apart stretch the sweet sticky substance, which you then eat as candy. Due to its ingredients of sugar it's sparkly and glittery.

### Penguin? & Bubble Gum
