Happy Company Mild Plum Stick Mini
I wanted to like this so bad because I love plum-y flavors, but this one just didn’t work for me. The taste is super intense in a way that reads more medicinal than fruity, and the aftertaste lingered. Maybe it’s someone’s favorite, but I am not that someone.

Eitaro Fruit Hard Candy Umeboshi Ame
I recently discovered the Eitaro Umeboshi Ame at Muji, and despite no actual umeboshi flavor, the candy's unique shape and smooth texture make it a pleasure to eat. It doesn’t have a unique flavor it kind of taste like plain konpeito candy but still tasty and I love that it’s not too sweet. What truly amazed me is the craftsmanship behind the candy, which dates all the way back to the Edo period. Eitaro has been making confections since 1818, and it shows in the care and quality of these little gems. The candy pieces are perfectly shaped, with smooth edges that make them easy to enjoy without any sharpness inside the mouth. Each piece delivers a subtle sweetness that is absolutely addictive! For anyone seeking a traditional Japanese candy with a touch of history, this is a must-try. The $9.90 price is absolutely worth it for the quality and the experience of tasting a centuries-old recipe. If you're a fan of wagashi like me! or simply curious to try something different, Eitaro Umeboshi Ame is highly recommended.
