But they're just not good together. However, a while back I tried some wasabi potato chips and those were HEAVEN. Yeah…gave wasabi peas a try a while ago. After all, I like wasabi and I like peas.

The real horror fail snack is the dried anchovy coated in sugar and sesame seeds. I was told they were good with beer, and I assure you, they are not. The only thing they are good with is a powerful dose of "don't eat the anchovy snack." I like to roll the wasabi peas around on my tongue a little to fully appreciate the wasabi flavor. I think the brand I usually get is Hapi. They come in a pretty can that's useful and kind of decorative. p.s. the best snack food is a vegetable: potato chips! C'mon! Oh man, I love wasabi peas.

We can get some kinds of them here in Japan. Basically, I can agree to contra, but his (her?) final sentence is unbelievable. It is very interesting for me, so I will try it in the near future.

They are absolutely awesome! But then again, I can practically eat wasabi without the normally accompanying sushi ;) I love spicy food - Spicy snacks are rare! My co-workers also love them, unfortunately, so if I buy some, they're gone faster than I can say "yay! I got an über-strong one!" :P Wasabi peas has to be one of my favorite snacks.

Just not all wasabi peas are created equal. I find some brands better than others. Some have a great texture and surprising depth of flavor, others taste like gravel mixed with cardboard and some bland horseradish. They are a great snack at work though, because a) they give you a kick in the nose when you're falling asleep in the afternoon b) they are very low calorie, so it isn't so bad you spent your day sitting on your ass, and c) none of your coworkers will eat more than that first exploratory pea, so you don't need to jealously guard them! Also they can be crushed up and used to coat fish, like say a tuna steak. Sear it quick and serve with soy sauce, it's great. No way, wasabi peas are are awesome.

I think it's the rice crackers that instantly dry up your entire digestive tract. The only thing worse than wasabi peas is the rest of the crap that comes in the Japanese snack mix.

They give you that kick of pungent spiciness, but that's a blip in the savory-salty blend of baked and be-sodiumed ingredients. Means a bit more variety, a bit of a wake-up, and goes perfectly with a good-sized swig of your drink five seconds later.
