There was a bowl of candy. It had a blog which lived and grew and entertained some people. There was candy to talk about and people to talk to.Candybowl the blogger ended up in an office with a pile of snacks in one public snack zone. Nobody ate out of candy bowls. A few posts from home, a tiny stream of visitors that meanders on to this day. Candybowl has been out of the game.
So when Cadnybowl went to Japan on vacation and picked up a bag of UHA Kororo grape jelly candy, it was without any consideration of the blog. That changed.
The gummy is slippery and a little rough on the tongue. On sucking one gets hints of an intense and pleasant concord grape flavor, with the uneven mouthfeel of a peeled grape. On biting the jelly in the middle oozes all over. It's strong, with a realistic grape flavor. One knows one is eating candy but a very realistic candy.
Denizens of Candybowl (the blog) will recall that UHA produces the excellent Cucu line of hard candies. This is more like the UHA gummy, which boasts 100% fruit juice (20% is 5x juice concentrate). There's a footnote on this package which appears to say (in Japanese) it's made with 6x concentrated fruit juice for a total of about 6.7 grams or about 16.5% by weight. Candybowl respects a candy with a footnote.
They're very nice, and it's not a very large package. So go ahead and get them if you see them.
