YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Japanese Sakura Mochi Candies -Cherry blossom Rice Cakes- Aromatic Flavor of Japanese Spring 300g/10.58oz【YAMASAN】

These candies are EXCELLENT!!! They are like alien marshmallows. The consistency is amazing, not sticky but pillowy soft with density. The flavor is unique and not over sweet like most candies. I could not control myself and the bag is now gone within 24 hours despite trying to better pace myself (and my son) due to the high cost. (I have had these candies in my watch list for almost 2 years before finally splurging). If the price was more affordable I’d be in trouble because these are VERY addicting. (Took away one star because they are pricey but… so worth it! Especially since there is no unnecessary dairy added like most products nowadays) … actually, I’m adding the star back for the fact they are vegan! So.. 5 stars even with cost that means I cannot have everyday like I’d prefer. Highly recommend just sadly may not ever be able to enjoy again.

So good! Not overly sweet. Love the soft texture and floral but fruity flavor.

What a great flavor! My son always asks to try new foreign snacks and these are amazing! They have the consistency of a soft marshmallow and a wonderful mild flavor. Will be ordering more.

Interesting if mild taste. Very soft. I enjoyed them but my sister did not.

Well worth it. I have wanted to try these for while and decided to finally splurge on a bag. I didn’t count how many pieces there were but it was a very large bag completely filled. I was only able to eat 2 pieces because they were really tiring to keep chewing. They are definitely chewier than any mochi I’ve ever had. I also found their sweetness level comparable to meringue candy so there’s no way to eat more than 2-3 pieces at a time unless you like very sweet candy. They didn't have much of a strong flavor, but there was a faint floral aftertaste. The outside powder covering has a sparkly glitter effect. I found them beautiful to eat. The only downside to these candies is the red 40 used to achieve the pretty pink color. That’s another reason I don't see myself reaching for these everyday….I avoid red 40 in my food most of the time. Price is reasonable for how much you get in a bag and how I wont be eating them everyday. These are probably healthier in the long term than actual candy since most people only eat 2-3 pieces with green tea.
