Mentos flavors in Japan

Been chewing away on plenty of Mentos in recents weeks (for reasons that are not important here) but I'm getting sick of just the cola, grape, and mint flavors. In years past I alway remembered there being a whole bunch of Mentos flavors available in Japan but now I can only find the three. If you've seen any other than those mentioned above, can you tell me where?

    Don't know about in stores, since I regularly see the same flavors you mentioned. However, Amazon Japan has choco/caramel flavored ones that sound super good! https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B7%E3%82%A8%E3%83%95%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA-%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B7%E3%82%A8-%E3%83%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%82%B9-%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AB%E3%83%81%E3%83%A7%E3%82%B3-38g%C3%9712%E5%80%8B/dp/B075KDY4N3/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=food-beverage&ie=UTF8&qid=1541576220&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B7%E3%82%A8+%E3%83%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%82%B9+%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AB%E3%83%81%E3%83%A7%E3%82%B3+38g%C3%9712%E5%80%8B

    I remember seeing orange and green apple before in random dagashiyas. I think dagashiya will give you higher chances than other locations (and they are always fun to go through),

    I don’t remember the flavors but I saw some at diaso and can do. I am pretty sure they had more flavors than those three.

    @genkidesu @Jackson @Heath320 Thanks! Choco / caramel? I didn't see that coming from Mentos! My eyes are peeled! The dagashiya and 100 yen stores sound like good options. I'll take a look.

    I’ve seen plum and strawberry in Donki! Also, some game centers have this coin machine thing where you can drop in maybe a 100 yen coin for a few mentoses. (like the gumball machine)

    The chocolate ones (bizarre) were sold at the AEON group store The Big, as well as grape and cola. I doubt they always sell the same products in every location but worth checking supermarkets. Had no idea there was more than mint flavor because I don't ever buy those. Interesting.

    Like Heath, I've seen more flavours at Daiso too. Sorry to answer a question with a question, but...! What about Village Vanguard? That seems like somewhere that might have a good choice. If I'm at one this week, I'll check it out for you!

Where do you visit Santa Claus?

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 15 on City-cost.

Did you feel the December 8th earthquake?

There was a large earthquake off the coast of Aomori Prefecture at 11.15 pm on December 8th 2025. We are approximately 700 kilometers from the epicenter, yet we felt it very strongly. Did you feel it and how far away (roughly) are you from the epicenter?

What Chiba places, cuisine, events, experiences enrich your Japan life?

The Chiba Prefecture government's international affairs division invites foreign resident volunteers to share the Chiba spots we love. I can't attend because of work obligations, but I can share your faves by email. What in Chiba lit you up - food, shops, nature, festivals, events, and experiences? Conversely, what didn't work out or confounded you? Photo tax - irises at Noda City's Sogo Park.
