Japan is like a parallel universe. Here in the land of the free, it’s customary to wash down a mouthful of Cool Ranch Doritos with a refreshing swig of Pepsi. In the land of the rising sun, you’ll find those same tasty snacks, but the corn chips could be anchovy-flavored, and that bottle of Pepsi might taste of spicy, bitter ginger.

日本好像处在另一个平行世界里。在美国这片自由之地，人们常往嘴里塞一把多力多滋玉米片（Cool Ranch Doritos），再喝一大口清凉的百事可乐（Pepsi）。你在日本也可以找到这些美味可口的零食，但玉米片成了凤尾鱼风味，而瓶装的百事可乐可能是辛辣苦涩的姜味。

We’ve cobbled together this list of Japanese-exclusive flavors of popular munchies. From squid ink–flavored ice cream to “man-scented” gum, some of these flavors really leave us scratching our heads.

我们收集整理了那些具有日本特色和风味的名点小食。从墨鱼汁味冰淇淋到“男人香”味口香糖，有些味道真让我们摸不着头脑。
