Aji Ichiban
Lonely Planet review for Aji Ichiban
This Hong Kong–based chain, the name of which means ‘awesome’ in Japanese, is a ubiquitous sight in Chinatown, as this is just one of five locations here. And though it is a candy shop, get ready for something a bit more exciting than malted balls and peppermint sticks. Here’s where you’ll find sesame-flavored marshmallows, Thai durian milk candy, preserved plums, mandarin peel, blackcurrant gummies and dried guava, as well as savory snacks like crispy spicy cod fish, crab chips, wasabi peas and dried anchovies with peanuts.
