What a great concept this ‘hidden taste’ is… ! And I love the way the candy looks, like some shiny hazelnuts. I never buy candy in the Netherlands, but I am sure I would if in Kyoto…

How intriguing, I’d love to try them. I’ll have to look to see if we can find them in our Japan-town. Thanks so much for introducing me to these candies.

That “hidden taste” concept is actually really neat.

I think I’ll have to keep it in mind for future food experiments.

The candies themselves remind me of those root beer candies, haha.

This candy sounds so interesting! I love the idea of a “hidden taste”…it’s so much fun to try something new and try to identify the flavors in it!
