Japan Snack Reviews #5

Will this ever end?! 

1)


Translation: "Strawberry Candy"

Review:

A pink, roundish hard candy. It has a light strawberry flavor and it's delightful.

2.)



Name: Mini Bottle Sherbet

Review:

Inside the bottle is little white spheres of mostly sugar. Tastes like Pixie Sticks with most of the sour removed and some of the sweetness. They also taste like Smarties (in sphere form). Not sure where "sherbet" comes in. Maybe there's a hint of creaminess? There's a hint of something, something slightly strange but I can't put my finger on it. I think the best way I can describe it is it smells like that point in building a new house when the drywall has just been put in. It's okay.

I took the "bottle" as maybe a clue so I poured a few into some water to see what that would taste like. They didn't dissolve, they just sat there.

3)



Name: Strawberry Daifuku

Review: 

This is a strange one. This is a strawberry-filled marshmallow. The marshmallow is made with mochi and the strawberry is bean paste. The marshmallow is like a normal marshmallow that's old and become tough and chewy. When they say that it's mochi or supposed to taste like mochi makes sense - there is something there that is reminiscent of that.

It's not bad but it's pretty weird and it's hard to get my head around it.

4) 



Name: Transport, Animal or Number Chocolate

Review:

There are some varieties of these that are shaped like transports and some shaped like animals. What I found interesting is that a camel is both.

They taste exactly like Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. You know the delicious chocolate syrup that you add to your milk to make your delicious chocolate milk? They taste exactly like that.

So, next up is Korea again but I have to say Japan is just about done; all that's left is the verified chocolate snacks. For that I'm going to have to scrounge up guest tasters from somewhere or something. Not sure how that's going to go.
