Japanese sweets and snack food

Japanese sweets are so unique and very original. Of course we have some nice  foreign sweets such as chupa chups, kit kat, snickers, pringles and such but who can live without Japanese sweets? No one! The most popular Japanese sweets must be Pocky. We have some flavors such as strawberry, green tea, coconut chocolate, white chocolate etc. Pritz is as popular as Pocky, and both sweets are products of Glico. You can find limited flavors depending on seasons and many people are so excited whenever new interesting flavors come out. Pritz recently started selling "Super Butter" flavor....this is the best! Since I think most viewers of this blog already know about Pocky and Prits, I will introduce a relatively new sweets which I keep buying these days.

This is gummy candy which I am addicted to these days. One package is about ¥100, price differs depending on where you buy this. This kind of tiny gummy/ candy packages tend to be cheaper to buy at drug stores than supermarkets and convenience stores. When you look at package of Japanese sweets, each sweets has its own catch phrase to attract people. For example, this one says "-From Danish mothers wisdom- tender boiled apple-" I think this expression "tender" is used as something is soft, but to add warm feelings to it, they wanted to use the word "yasashii" (tender), I guess. Also the picture of the package gives you warm and kind of nostalgic feeling. Maybe when you buy this, you will think about your mother's homemade sweets while you are eating this and feel nostalgic. That must be their strategy.

And...they have juice too!!! It says it contains 1/2 apple... I highly recommend all viewers to try this gummy candy and juice. You won't regret it! Let's feel nostalgic.... :)
