Other Strange Gummy Candy Varieties

A bag of kogumi (“mini-gummy”) is 140 to 160 yen a bag, and contains charmingly tiny candy pieces in four flavors. You can eat several pieces in one go.

Sonomanma (“as it is”) is a gummy candy made directly from the ingredients, with no added preservatives.

Sonomanma uses lemons from the Seto Inland Sea area and yuzu citrus fruit from Aichi prefecture, just cut up finely and sprinkled with sugar. The fruits retain their original sourness and aroma, and you can also taste their bitterness. A bag is 170 to 220 yen.

In Closing

The gummy candy varieties we introduced today are sold in Japanese convenience stores and supermarkets. While they will have different selections, the bargain palace Don Quijote may have an entire wall devoted to gummy candy, and even more flavors and limited-edition candy on its shelves.
