Here we are with the Glico Man, one of the first things that comes to mind when you say “Osaka” (Note: this was a trip to Osaka *today* and is completely separate from the Osaka trip pictured in the previous post) Glico is a large snack food/candy company here in Japan and the running Glico Man is featured on the package of a heart-shaped hard caramel-like sweet. As far as I can tell, you buy this particular candy less for the candy and more for the mini toy or puzzle or origami kit that comes packaged in another box on top of the box of actual candy.
{Dōtonbori, Osaka, Japan}
