Weird Japanese Snack #8

Alrighty, slightly better pictures as I brought me camera to work...... This one is kind of confusing. It looks like it's going to be, well, maybe like a milk ball. The stuff on the right is brown sugar apparently. Coffee locked and loaded in case this lends itself to that sort of combo.



You can see there is an inner honeycomb sort of structure, thus the milk ball suspicion.


See, they even have it again on the back. Apparently this is the big sell for this sweet.


Okay, first surprise, they're individually wrapped.


Well, it turns out they are hard candies, not unlike cough drops.


Dr. Terry described the taste as "molasses-like". That pretty much described it. Almost a hint of licorice. There was a center of some brown sugar. Not very imaginative, to be honest. The packaging promised something a little more kooky. Still, not bad if you're a hard candy fan. I'm not.
