WEEK 7 EOC: The Pitch

JAPAN - Batzel Bakuhatzu

A new snack creation of America meets Japan. A new snack creation of America meets Japan. It’s called Wasabi Batzel (which is the first half of bacon-BA and the second half of pretzel-TZEL combined). Bakuhatzu. Bakuhatzu is Japanese for “explosion”. It’s called “explosion” because it’s a mixture of peppered bacon bits, pretzel sticks and mini wasabi flavored rice crackers. It’s one of the best mixtures that will be served greatly in a bar and with any choice of beer. Who doesn’t love bacon?  Nowadays people eat pretty much any kind of snack with beer but it doesn’t always taste right. There are many beers to choose from that will match with the flavors of this magical mixture Japanese or otherwise. It can be a solo snack, great choice for a party or maybe even make a random little game as a one on one challenge to see who can eat the most. It’s kind of rare to have a taste of Japan around America. Although we do have a few things lying around stores, it still goes unnoticed of where they come from. This snack will be another face of barrier breaking of this one minded country where we can start allowing people to realize the many different tastes countries all over the world have to offer. That not only do snacks from around the world have to be completely different but it can also have an American twist. Batzel Bakuhatzu will only be the beginning. This creation can be the opening door to so many other snacks from around the world that America could grow to learn and love. By acknowledging how amazing this Japanese mixture tastes, I’m more than positive that it will able them to broaden their horizons and appreciate the world around them. So many people are wrapped in a bubble and are completely ignorant of the fact that there is so much more to admire. Starting with Batzel Bakuhatzu.
