Question:
I got a couple pieces of candy from a Japanese foreign exchange student today. They were in a silver shiny wrapper. Rectangular. about the size of a piece of Bazooka bubble gum. Chewy but very hard. White, some had blue or greenish yellow stripes. Inside was filled with colorful gummy bubbles or white sour tablets. If anyone could give me a name or company or LINK that would be awesome(:
Answer:
It is a Japanese candy called Puccho (ぷっちょ) made by the Japanese company UHA Mikakuto. Puccho is one of my favourite Japanese candy due to its unique texture and chewy nature. There are several types of Puccho which include Juushi, Shuwa, and World. There are many different flavours of Puccho including strawberry, cola, grape, orange, lemon, yoghurt, cream soda, blueberry, cherry, peach, mango, melon soda and pineapple. There are also flavours that are unique to certain regions in Japan and these usually make great souvenirs.
