Japanese candies and snacks to try at least once

Just recently I've been searching for new interesting Japanese candies and snacks to sample.
I found some very odd Japanese candies that I think I must try at least once.

All of the items below are available for purchase at jbox.com.


Buta Don flavored Sakuma Drops


Jbox describes the candy as "the famous classic candy enjoyed for since before World War II, which were made famous in the animated film Grave of the Fireflies. Right now Japan is having a "Drop Candy boom" with the most interesting flavors of candy available, including rare and exotic flavors from different parts of the country."


Fuwarinka Rose Essence Soft Candy


Jbox describes this candy as "rose flavored soft candy by Kanebo with special healing benefits. Added with vitamin C, it contains hyaluronic acid, an ingredient claimed to help prevent premature aging in the skin. It also contains a healthy dose of collagen to replenish the body's reserve of this necessary substance which is good to smooth out wrinkles in the skin, and it can even change your body odor, improving the natural fragrances of your body."


FritoLay Garlic Maniac

Jbox describes this snack as "corn chip that's seasoned with a delicious garlic flavor that you can't get enough of. Vacume sealed and definitely worth every bite. It does come with a word of warning however, not to eat before a date (it says so right on the cover)!"


Tokyo Noodle Drops Candy


Ramune (Japanese Soda) Candy


Sasebo Burger Drops


Miso Soup Noodle Drops
