    Japanese Taste

    Seika Bontan Ame Japanese Pomelo Soft Candy 14 Pieces

    $2.99

    Seika Bontan Ame is a Japanese candy that has been sold for a century. It is a soft candy that is made with a tropical fruit called bontan (pomelo).

    Pomelo is a citrus fruit native to the Southeast Asian region. This fruit is famous for its size, which is as large as a watermelon or durian and has a sweet-sour taste that is similar to a grapefruit.

    This candy contains two different pomelos harvested in Kagoshima Prefecture and citrus unshiu (also known as mandarin orange). As a result, it has a refreshing tangy flavor.

    What makes this candy unique is its texture: it is soft but also chewy like a mochi rice cake.

    Each piece of candy is wrapped with an edible translucent starch film called oblate, so you can eat it as it is.

    Vegan-friendly candy: the Bontan Ame contains plant-based ingredients only.

      I love this candy! My sister was in Japan recently and brought some back and I loved it! Do, I searched online to see if I could order more. 😊

      Sweet and chewy

      These bite-sized treats (the size of a Starburst) are sweet with a delicious citrus flavor. They are soft and chewy and a bit sticky but they dissolve rather than getting stuck in your teeth. They come in the classic edible rice paper wrapper.

      Impossible to separate from wrapping plastic

      I don't know if my package had a mishap in shipping (although the rest of my order was perfectly fine) but the candy were pretty much fused for life with the wrapping plastic on them. I tried everything to get it off, even cutting it off to no avail.

      I ended up having to throw them away. :(

      I managed to taste the tiniest bit of candy and I was surprised at how tough it was. The taste was good but the texture was like rubber! Impossible to chew.
