But I&#8217;ve bought too many products and can&#8217;t decide which to review, so I&#8217;m going to let TIB&#8217;s readers decide for me. I&#8217;ve chosen three of the products for you to vote on:<\/p>\n<p><b>1.  JT Super Haioku<\/p>\n<p>2.  Glico Beer Pretz<\/p>\n<p>3.

The winner will be eaten and reviewed, while the others will just have the pleasure of going through my digestive system.<\/p>\n<p>To vote, just leave a comment with this post with your choice.  Only one choice and vote per person.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be accepting votes until Friday, October 17th (11:59 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time).<\/p>\n<p>Now go and vote!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago, a Japanese grocery store popped up in my neighborhood.
