Random Candies from Nihon!



I love these little guys.  Puccho Gumi.  They're tiny little gummies with odd flavor mixtures.  I've never had the one to the left in the above picture, but I have had the three to the right.  The purple one is grape and yogurt.  The blue one is regular ramune soda and melon ramune soda.  And, the brown/red one is cola and energy drink.  They're so addicting but they go by so fast!

I bought these the other day and I'm completely addicted!  They're plum flavored, but not the sort of plum I'm used to.  If I'd never had a Japanese umeboshi before I probably would've been a little disgusted, haha.  They're sweet and tangy and a little bit salty.  Hard on the outside, soft on the inside.  And, once you adjust to the culture shock on your tongue they're wicked.

Apple Jellies!  They're cubes of jellied apple...basically.  The flavor is light and the texture is strange, but I'd totally recommend them to any lover of red/fuji/etc. apples.

And, last but not least, these chocolate/green tea treats.  They're bite sized and practically melt in your mouth!  Layers of chocolate, matcha, and chocolate all over again!

A Tribute to Harry Potter

Since the first half of the seventh movie is coming out within days...

Yes, I've had them.  Yes, they're disgusting.  The normal flavors are tastey enough.  I was lucky enough to never come across a vomit flavored one, but I did manage soap, grass, dirt and others which are vile enough without crossing over that line.  Soap I simply had to spit out.  Grass I could chew for a while but still despised it.  Dirt.  Yeah.  It's like eating dirt.  And they all taste as they should!  How they got the flavors right I'll never know; but, they're spot on and revolting.
