I expected to like these as 1) Kasugai makes other candies I really enjoy and 2) I tend to like lemon-flavored things. The lemon flavor felt more akin to cleaning products—not that I’m in the habit of ingesting those. 😂

I saw these on the Japan Candy Store website and was intrigued by the flavor: mochi donut? Ramune? Sounds weird. It turned out to be just weird and not delicious. The outside of the gummy had a weird middling texture: not a gummy but not a crunchy candy shell either. The aftertaste was not good. Bwomp bwomp.

Another fun, fruity candy! These have a textural sensation I like quite a bit, i.e. two different squishinesses (?) to the gummy.

I quite liked these, you can definitely taste notes of mochi underneath the peach.

These gummies kinda melted together in transit into one big mega ball of candy strips, but the fruit tea flavor was as promised.

Tohato isn’t kidding about “extra thick”, these are a fun little crispy treat fun to crack with your teeth—and a nice peppery taste.

Legit Swedish fish! I love elderflower anything, and the flavor of these is great. I would prefer it if the fish were a little bit softer and easier to chew. My partner in snack crime was a big fan of these and would probably rate them 5 stars.

This was my least favorite of the Bubs gummies I tried. It is simply ok. I actually was not sure what the flavor was supposed to be until I looked it up online later.

Like the other Bubs candies I tried, this gummy is a little softer than usual. The Dizzy Skull is bubblegum flavored, but that flavor is more subtle than with American confections. The taste starts out with a mild sourness before quickly turning to sweet.

I wasn’t sure what to expect biting into such a large gummy, but pleasantly found it softer than most of the gummies you get from a bulky candy wall. I think that’s important, it would be too much if Bubs candies were the consistency of say, a Haribo. I found this fruity flavor quite pleasant and would buy it again!
