5. Chocolate

Out of all the Umaibo flavors, this one is particularly rare. You'll be really surprised at how delicious the chocolate is for being such a cheap snack. In the summer the chocolate would melt so it's only sold in the winter, but if you find it you should definitely buy it without hesitation.
