Christmas popcorn tin

does anyone know where I could possibly buy the tri-flavored popcorn tins I used to get as a kid? I know walmart has them available even still but only around christmas time. Seeing as I can't just stop in at walmart, would anyone know where I might find them. I don't even know where to look online.

    For online, maybe Amazon has it. I usually order overseas products there. For stores, costco, yamaya, kaldi, or jupiter.

    I had a quick look on the Costco website but it doesn't look like the Japan stores sell them - that was my initial thought. Amazon US does have it but naturally the shipping costs here are exorbitant, so I wouldn't personally go down that route unless it's an absolute must-have.

    I just saw a popcorn place in a mall that smelled amazing. Super expensive but more fresh than Walmart? It's called ギャレットポップコーンショップス - Garrett Popcorn. The closest one to you might be in Kitasenju, but they have an online store too: https://garrettjapan.official.ec/

Recommendations for next Christmas?

While its somewhat fresh in your mind, what gifts came into your house this Christmas and / or New Year, that you thought were really nice things to receive and / or really good buys, that you think might make a good present for someone else in the future? As you might see in the product reviews, I am going through some of the things I bought for the kids this year and thinking of what I was really happy with. And already thinking of next year!

Under the radar winter festivals

There are some winter festivals that get a lot of hype, like the Sapporo Snow Festival, for instance. However, as someone who doesn't like crowds, I enjoy lower-key festivals a whole lot more. Do you have any favorite winter festivals that aren't really tourist-trappy? What makes them fun or unique?

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?
