just when the MELAMINE scare was over, i thought of blogging these super cute japanese candies (which are 100 virgin). These ranges from chocolate to the sumptuous gummy-ish candies. Price ranges from a dollar to 4 and they are all made from the 'land of the rising sun'. i read though that there were weird flavors like the SOY SAUSE and the PUMPKIN. i mean, where the hell do u find those?! crazy! but just love japanese stuff so might as well relate this fresh stuff.
its a new and impoved version of the old thing. its a better candy now! they also have western copy-cats but originals are still the best!
