Every region and prefecture in Japan has its own specialty food or sweets. When people visit there, they will get these as a souvenir for their family and co-workers. From Hokkaido, it would be a white chocolate called "Shiroi Koibito". . Akita has one of my favorite sweets, Gomasuri dango, which is a bite-sized soft mochi (rice cake) filled with a sweet sesame sauce. Yamanashi's shingen mochi always knock me out (nice blog Chika!). In the Nagoya area, Uiro is well known. I think I have already told you before, that Shizuoka has a pie that includes ground eel powder, called "Night King"(they say this gives you stamina for your night life). Everybody get Momiji manjyu from Hiroshima.
I posted before the rankingthe ranking of best selling souvenirs at Tokyo station. No7 is Nigyo yaki. It is a kind of manjyu which is in the shape of things that bring good fortune. The seven Divinities of Good Luck is a standard shape, I think. And we have various character types (yes Japanese are charactor lovers). Here is good site about collecting Ningyo yaki characters.
This is a Ningyo yaki of the most well-known animation in Japan, ,Sazae san. This is Doraemon, Godilla, Astroboy, Hamutaro, Micky mouse, Shinkansen etc,. And of course we have kitty, and kitter guy likes this. Ha! tail of kitty? Ha! tail of kitty? Ha! tail of Kitty? Ah, I can also tell you that soon Chiba zoo will make a Futa version, well will work fine for that.

oh... and sorry I got carried away about all of the good food around Japan, but You talked about Tampopo and omeraisu and now manju, I couldn't help it... :-)

Astroboy is my hero! He is very popular here in Australia too.
When I was a child, I also liked Gigantor, but I haven't seen any sweets made to look like them.
