From the Japanese snack company Kasugai… ごま あめ
The English label simply says SWEET CANDY. It’s goma ame (sesame candy). Looks like hard candy and you can suck on it like you would a gumdrop. I prefer to chew on it − very bad for molar teeth, but the best way to enjoy it, in my humble opinion.
まめ 大福 = Mame Daifuku = mochi stuffed with bean paste
Of the several variants of daifukumochi that Shirakiku makes for the American market, this is probably the one I like the least, if only because it was so heavy!
LABEL WARNING:This product is chewy in texture. Children (especially under three years of age) and elderly people should be cautious. Please chew thoroughly before swallowing.
Never at a loss for news when it comes to ryokucha (Japanese green tea).
