Hi Robin! I am researching Asian ingredients/snacks to send as a gift to someone living in the Netherlands who is a Japanese, Chinese, and Korean food enthusiast. Is there anything you recommend that I seek out, in particular? Obviously I can’t send produce–I just need an idea and I can run with the rest. Thanks!
