Hello everyone.

Germany has delicious food that is hard to find in Japan.

Germany is not the only country where sausages and potatoes cannot be brought into Japan in a suitcase!

This article introduces some good souvenirs for friends and people around you that you can buy at supermarkets.

Stores where you can buy

Supermarkets in Germany include REWE, ALDI, Tegut, and LIDR.

In terms of cheapness, the image is

ALDI > > > > >

If you focus on cuteness (the quality of the product)

Tegut >LIDR

That's what I believe.

If you are a German professional reading this, please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions!

Food Sweets

Haribo gummies

Personally, I might not recommend it as it can be bought in Japan. But if you are looking for a souvenir for someone who doesn't like new things, this might be a good choice in a way.

The gummies above were sold during Easter. They are adorable!

The container is also in the shape of an egg, and you will want to use it for something after you are done eating.

Chocolates

There are many things.

These Bio-based chocolates and flavored chocolates (the ones I saw that I thought were interesting)

Maybe it's just me, but I think German milk tastes good!

So I personally recommend milk chocolate.

pretzel with chocolate

(The above is not the German one.) It is so delicious!

KALDI also sells them in bulk pretzels these days. They taste similar to those.

It's like persimmon peas covered with chocolate.

We would have liked to bring back home the authentic bread, puetzel, but since it will become a crusty bread after only one day, we will bring back a pretzel, which is a pastry. It's so German that everyone will be happy.

Schokokuss

Inside is a marshmallow-like substance.

They are large and relatively inexpensive, but may be a bit unusual since they are a German snack that is not easily seen in Japan.

However, as mentioned above, it may be cracked, so you may want to avoid it when appearance is important.

Or maybe you should buy something better packaged.

This is another similar product from another company...in fact, the company name is very famous. If you are interested, please do a little research.

Food Other than sweets

Honey

Yes, all German honey is white. (Or rather, opaque.)

But just because it's white doesn't mean it's hard to use.

It is more like a honey with mass, and it is delicious!

Culture shock! But I don't think it is a very well-known fact, so it might be interesting to bring it with you.

In addition, since it is a liquid product, it is compact yet heavy, so if you are worried about overweight, it may be a little less of a priority.

Oh, and in case you are looking for it, there is also a little liquid honey if you look for it properly.

Still, for the most part, it's this opaque honey image, HONIG!

Jarred sauerkraut

Isn't sauerkraut a surprising favorite of many people?

I think it can be found in school lunches and such, depending on location and region.

Here in Germany, you can buy it in bottles!

The food can be stored at room temperature, so there is no need to worry about having to refrigerate it.

But it is heavy, so only do it if you can afford the suitcase weight. It is quite inexpensive!

cheese

Cheese is surprisingly allowed in carry-on luggage.

Maybe because of its proximity to Switzerland, cheese is not that expensive, even natural cheese!

In Japan, they tend to be very expensive (usually around 2,000 yen), but here it is common to be able to buy a good size for less than 5 euros.

This flower-shaped cheese is also cute!

We sell many flavored cheeses, so be sure to look at many of them.

EU-like paste tube

Have you heard of MUTTI or something like that? Gentlemen.

KALDI sometimes sells pasta and other sauce pastes commonly sold in Europe and the United States in a container that looks like toothpaste!

The containers alone are cute, but the ones that come in this shape are usually delicious and easy to use.

It's not a bottle, so once you open it, you have to use it right away or the contents will get moldy... and that's hardly ever a problem.

I recommend!

Beverage

Beer

Speaking of beverages, if you're in Germany, it's beer.

Munich is famous for its beer.

There are many local German beers available on ～～～～, so I suggest you try a variety and buy the ones you like.

When in doubt, I feel like I should just buy Munich beer anyway.

Coffee from Dalmayer/Jacob

Coffee is also actually surprisingly famous? Germany is also surprisingly famous for coffee.

(Germans don't seem too proud of it, lol)

Dalmayr is available in Japan on Amazon.com, but it is very expensive.

This will have to be bought in Germany!

Jacobs also sells quite a bit of instant coffee, which will be easy to raise for those who don't normally have particular equipment.

Pilsener

Germany's hidden gem? The most famous one is Pilsener. Actually, it's originally from the Czech Republic.

Pilsener is a lager (bottom-fermented) beer created in Pilsen, Bohemia (now Czech Republic) in 1842, and is characterized by its hoppy and refreshing aroma. It is derived from the German word “Pilsen,” and is produced in many countries around the world because of its suitability for mass production.

Those are the requirements.

White wine

White wine is also actually famous.

Germany is a surprisingly dry land!

Therefore, the cultivation of grapes for white wine is also very popular.

Be aware that Germany surprisingly does not sell baumkuchen. (Because only difficult baumkuchenmeisters are allowed to sell them.)
