Meiji Sushi Gummy Candy

Spire's here again, and I've found another bit of something interesting to share with the lot of you.

Meiji Gummy Sushi candy, also known as Meiji Nigi nigi Ooshi Yasan (according to the translation at the back of the package)I got this off the shelf for about RM4-5, I can't remember exactly, and I got it at the Ikano Japanese food fair some time ago. The cover caught my eye because I don't normally see 'double-decker' sweets so I decided to give it a try. The gummies are Peach, Orange and Cherry flavor.

It was originally planned to be taken with us for a short day-trip holiday to Genting, but Silvy opened it one night earlier (oops) so we decided to have it on the spot.

So yes, there's a grand total of 14 gummies, 7 pieces of peach flavored 'rice', 4 pieces of orange flavored 'toppings' and 3 pieces of cherry flavored sushi toppings as well.

Somehow some of the peach gummies had overflowed the packaging, so it was stuck to some of the orange ones, so we had to peel them off. The gummies were all surprisingly sticky yet firm, and once we stuck one to another, were quite hard to remove again, which I suppose was the actual point.

We stuck a few together and popped them in for a bite, and surprisingly they were quite flavorful, though the peach taste was a little weird at first, but the tastes did go well together.

The whole lot were enjoyed by us both (and my brother who happened to walk in at the time) favorites were the orange flavored ones of course, cherry being a close second.

I hear that there are other versions and flavors of these gummies so I guess we will be on the lookout for them.

Spire sez: This kit is fun and easy, so even toddlers can have a go at it (if you're not opposed to having young kids snacking on candy so young) but the best part is the flavors blend in very well with each other, so peeling them off the mess was quite worth it.

Silvy says: It's a no-brainer. All you gotta do is to mix-and-match the 'rice' with your choice of 'topping'  and discover how the burst of flavor pleases your taste buds. Can be a wee bit messy, especially since it's quite sticky, but chewing on this sweet sushi is worth it!
