The description
This product is egg-shaped gummies with a crunchy candy shell and chewy center, with four fruit soda flavors including grape, peach, melon, and orange.
The good
First and foremost, this product was chosen by a child, for a child. I just tasted a couple so I could write this review! I love the hard outer shell, it really does add a satisfying crunch. My elementary school aged daughter, who is going through a gummy phase, really enjoyed them. She too loved the crunch of the outer shell, with the traditional gummy chewiness inside. She also appreciated the different flavors. She ate the pack slowly over a couple of days, but it is also suitable for sharing. Although, if you share, the pack certainly won't last a couple of days! The packaging is bright, fun and cheerful.
The not so good
They aren't cheap at 220 yen before tax. However, I bought them at a supermarket I don't go too very often and suspect that it is more expensive than the average supermarket. The baked goods, dairy and meat were certainly more expensive than my local Beisia. But we have not seen this product at our local Beisia before. Which gives me the impression they may not be that widely available. Or maybe they are not on the market that long. I don't know. But I will be on the lookout for them now, to buy for her again every now and then. Hopefully, I can source them at a cheaper price.
