Nama-Ramune

This is one of the gummy candies produced by Morinaga & Co., Ltd. and I was looking for this as I heard it's good and "interesting" texture besides resembles the "ramune," a popular and classic Japanese lime-lemon flavor soda.
If you're curious about "ranune," it's on Wikipedia also. :)


Nama-Ramune, "nama" means raw or fresh and lately sweets names with "nama" is big.
For example, Nama-Caramel is the biggest hit so far.
It's really soft and it melts and disappears once you put in your mouth.
The Polish semi-soft candy, "Krówki" is the closest one to Nama-Caramel here.

The package is cute but also a little bit childish, in my opinion.
However, I guess that's why it gets attention and makes people wonder, "What f*ck is that!?!?!?!?"

Actually, the package says, "Nama-Ramune" in Japanese and English also.
It also says on the left in vertical writing,
"You might find Lucky Heart," which is heart shaped gummy candy.
(I found one! And it's PINK!!!)

On the right side above, it says, "1,100mg Collagen (in this)."


All the gummy candies contain collagen as it's made of gelatin, so no wonder this candy contains it. lol

Hard to explain but the texture was a kind of crisp but moist and soft.
It's like as if you're shaving ice with your teeth but not cold.
Seems like the texture changes when you eat it cold and regular temperature.
The cooler it is, the crispier it gets. In other words, the warmer it is, the softer it is.

The flavor and taste was close to the ramune itself.
Not too sweet, but brisk and fresh.
It's bluish pale color, same as the well-known ramune bottles.

You can find it supermarket or convenience stores for 100 yen.
By chance, you can get the "Lucky Heart" ;)


生ラムネ

森永製菓が出しているお菓子。
巷で騒がれている「生」という言葉を使っている。
しかも、昔懐かしのラムネ味。
気になる・・・

昨晩コンビニで!思わずカゴへ入れた。

<パッケージデザイン>
・ポップな字体
・カラフルで目を引く
・右肩に「コラーゲン1,100mg」の文字
・左側に「ラッキーハートが入っているかも!?」と、期待させる一言
(ちなみに今回入ってました~:) 薄いピンクのハート型グミ♪)

ついでに100円。買うしかないでしょう(笑)

<食感>
しっとりしてるのにシャリシャリ。
やわらかいのにサクッと切れる。
本当に不思議。

温度によって食感が変わるらしい。
冷たいときはサクッとし、温かいときはプニッとする、と裏に記載あり。

<味>
まさにラムネそのもの。
甘すぎず、爽やか。

<色>
ラムネのボトルやビー玉と同じ、うすい水色。

おいしくて、不思議な食感。しかも100円。
ラッキーハートが入ってるかもしれない、オススメのお菓子です。
