| Sugary Sweets. Yum |
So I ordered a few things to try out (this is my first time ordering). I ordered some konpeito, melty kiss chocolate and some lotte black black gum. I'll be reviewing these treats all day long.
So the first thing is the konpeito. (In the picture, its the green bag to the left, I would have a better picture, but I ate it all already) It's actually not really special. It's just like coloured rock candy. I was told that they are different flavored, but they all tasted just sweet to me.
To give just a little history on it, konpeito was actually introduced by the Portugese and called it confeito. It was been adapted to become a traditional Japanese sweet candy. I've actually had similar rock candy before. Really reminds me of elementary school science where we put a string in a cup of dissolved sugar and see sugar crystals form. YUM.
You can get these treats and other goodies by clicking the pic to the right side bar or at the link below.
Are there any types of candy you recommend? Any wacky Japanese confectioneries you can think of?

Never had Japanese Candy. Exotic candy for the most part scares me, but the stuff in your picture looks pretty "normal." The only foreign candy I think I have ever had is that chinese rice candy where you eat the wrappers.
I'm always interested in these sort of things from foreign cultures. Sometimes there are some amazing finds among the strange foods.
do they taste like fish?
black black hard? XD Do these names make sense in the japanese context?
Yum!
I have some friends that are obsessed with that stuff. haha
Haven't heard of this before but it looks tasty. Very cool, thanks for sharing.

You bet, I'll make a post later today about it.
Japan food is awesome such as sushi and etc. Now Japanese treats sounds good too! I never tasted it though.
