I had never heard of Haw Flakes—made with hawthorn berry—until recently, but I learned they are a snack staple of many Chinese-American childhoods. The texture was a surprise to me, both flaky and a bit chewy. I liked that these were fruity and not too sweety.

My impression of this brand of licorice really depends on the flavor.
“Tropical” was juicy and delicious.
Green apple flavor was pretty good.
Raspberry tasted weird and chemical and I ended up throwing the rest of those away.

I love a gummy with two different textures. This one has a traditional gummy feel on the outside and a jelly on the inside, which is a nice combination. Interestingly, the shape of the gummy (say, a raspberry) doesn’t always match the flavor of the jelly (e.g. orange flavor). Great little gummies, though with neglible vitamin C content.
I’m surprised how much I like these! I came across these in the “new” section of japancandystore.com and thought they sounded intriguing: yogurt…soda…marshmallow?? It’s one of those tougher marshmallows, with little sparkles of sugar on the surface. I would describe the flavor as bright and clean.
These are just fine. They’re fruity gummies. The most notable thing about these is that the gummies are pretty tiny, actually—not sure I’ve had smaller.
