If you visit Universal Studios Theme Park in Osaka, then you need to make a stop at Popcorn Papa (http://www.popcornpapa.jp/, Japanese only) in the Universal City Walk area outside of the park. It's at about the midway point and you can't miss it with the giant popcorn kernel wearing a cowboy hat that greets you from atop the store.
There are 32 flavors to choose from - including sweet and savory offerings. My husband and I love popcorn, especially flavored ones! So, we went with 2 savory flavors - Bacon & Cheese and Garlic Butter. Wow, they were so good! Packed with flavor and totally delicious. I wish we had bought more.
What I like most about Popcorn Papa is that they aren't skimpy with the flavoring and they have a lot of interesting flavors. The ones we picked are relatively safe, but their number 2 most popular flavor is Ume Katsuo (pickled plum and fish flakes)! They also have flavors like Caramel Nuts, Milky Maple, Sweet Potato, Cream Soda, Mentaiko Mayonaise, Nori Wasabi, and Spicy Curry...to name a few.
A small bag will run you about 350 yen and a large is 900 yen. I think we need to make another trip to Universal, just so we can snag a few more bags...and this time, maybe we'll be brave and grab one of their more interesting flavors!
