(long overdue post; found these photos while writing another travel post for my website.)
Immediately after I returned from Japan last year, I was really happy to find these fruit flavoured, gummy chews also available in SF. Weirdly addictive, and I’ve made specific trips out to buy more from the only shop I know that sells them in SF.
In the same week that I returned to California, someone else (who shall remain nameless by request!) brought the following back from his trip.
These tasted awful, and the flavour lingered for hours, despite vigorous toothbrushing π
The shrimps ones were not that bad π
The Japanese candy is called Hi-Chew and you can order the English version in bulk from Amazon, as I do π http://www.amazon.com/Morinaga-Hi-Chew-Strawberry-Chewy-1-1oz/dp/B000P77GQE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1315532333&sr=8-3
