Kanro Marosh Gummy-style Yogurt Marshmallow Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. I found another yogurt flavored candy while shopping at Ebisu in Alhambra. Kanro Marosh is a “gummy-style yogurt marshmallow” according to the packaging. It’s imported from Japan.

One pouch is 50g (1800mg) and $2.99. The pouch is resealable.

Marosh: The candy is tear-shaped and about the size of a finger tip. It has the chewy of mochi and the sponginess of a marshmallow. The candy is “coated in acid powder for a refreshing taste.” It is firmer and chewier than a marshmallow, but sweet like a marshmallow. The powder on the outside is quite tart. I find the tartness pleasant (love tart candy). It fades, and you’re left with the sweetness. It does taste more like yogurt soda than yogurt.

4 out of 5 stars.

UHA Mikakuto Puchao Yogurt Drink & Peach Gummy n’ Soft Candy Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found another yogurt-flavored candy while shopping at Tokyo Central in Gardena. UHA Mikakuto Puchao Yogurt Drink & Peach Gummy n’ Soft candy is made in Japan. A 3.53 oz pouch contains two flavors of individually wrapped candies and was $2.59, regular price. The square candies are about the size of Starburst but firmer.

Yogurt drink candies: They’re quite tangy and sweet, and they taste like Yakult. The texture is very firm but softens while chewing. They also contain softer flavor balls.

Peach candies: These were also tangy and sweet but not as tangy as the yogurt drink flavor.

These are flavorful, tangy, chewy candies. They’re both pretty good.

Atrion Yogurt Fruit Gummy – Strawberry Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found Atrion yogurt fruit gummies at Konbiniya Japan Centre in Vancouver, Canada. They had a few flavors. The candy was $3.19 for 1.66 oz resealable pouch. It’s imported from Japan.

Yogurt Fruit Strawberry: The gummy is circular and about the size of a nickel. It’s firm and chewy. The strawberry flavor is strong and the yogurt makes the candy tangy. It’s good but it does taste a bit like Yakult (I’m not a fan of Yakult) rather than yogurt. I do appreciate the strong strawberry flavor and tang. I would buy these again. I should have bought the pear flavor too.

You can buy this candy online from Japan Candy Store for $4.90 a pouch.

4 out of 5 stars.

Morinaga Odama Choco Ball Aloe Yogurt Candy Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. Japan sure comes out with a lot of yogurt flavored candies. I spotted Morinaga Odama Choco Ball Aloe Yogurt Chocolate at H Mart in Arcadia, CA. One 1.58 pouch was $2.99. The pouch is resealable and contains seven candies. The candies are imported from Japan.

Choco Ball – Aloe Yogurt: The ball looks like and reminds me of a malt ball only with a chewy gummy center. The ball tastes like sweet white chocolate with a chewy aloe yogurt center. The yellow gummy center is firm and does taste like aloe (more than it tastes like yogurt). It’s not bad but the combination is unusual, at least to me.

There are five servings per bag, so a serving must be fewer than two balls but more than one ball. One serving has 40 calories, 2g total fat, and 8g total sugar. One of the ingredients is yogurt powder.

You can buy them online a few places, including Japan Candy Store.

Kabaya Fruit Yogurt Ramune Ichigo & Ringo Candy Review

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Kabaya Fruit Yogurt Ramune Ichigo & Ringo candy at H Mart in Arcadia. A bag is 1.79 oz (51g) and contains 15 individually wrapped candies. The yellow wrappers contain the apple candy and the red the strawberry candy. A bag was $3.99 at H Mart. The candy is a product of Japan.

The candies are small, white, round and have red flecks. The texture was firm and powdery. It melted quickly and was tangy and sweet. The apple flavor tasted more artificial than the strawberry and seemed sweeter too. The strawberry candy is made with Fukuoka Prefecture's Amaou strawberry. Pretty impressive. However, the candy was just okay for me (too powdery).

One serving is 25 calories, 0g fat, and 6g total sugars.

Morinaga Yogurt Caramel Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found a new yogurt candy at Nijiya Market in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Morinaga Yogurt Caramel is imported from Japan. One box is 2.07 oz with 12 individually wrapped square caramels. This flavor is limited edition. Nijiya was selling Morinaga caramels for $2.19 a box.

One serving (the entire box) is 241 calories, 4.5g total fat, 34g sugars, and 47g total carbohydrates.

The caramel was soft, creamy, and chewy. It had a tangy sweet yogurt flavor that reminded me of Yakult. I like firmer caramels. It seemed cloyingly sweet to me.

Ingredients: Sugar syrup, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, sweetened defatted condensed milk powder, vegetable oil, hydrolyzed wheat protein, butter, concentrated yogurt, sorbitol, citric acid, artificial flavor, soy lecithin

Sugiotoya Puru Mocchi (Yogurt Gummy Candy) Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found another yogurt flavored candy, while shopping at Nijiya Market in San Francisco.

Sugiotoya Puru Mocchi is imported from Japan. It’s a gummy candy. One bag is 40g, 130 calories, 0g fat, 34.4g sugars. Nijiya was selling Puru Mochi for $2.49 a bag. There were two other flavors: grape and Mandarin orange; these were not yogurt flavored. I’ve never had Puru Mocchi candy before.

* Puru Mocchi yogurt gummy candy: The bag contains 8 small individually wrapped cubes. Each cube is coated in flavored fine sugar. The texture is firm but not too firm and chewy, like mochi/glutinous rice. The yogurt flavor tastes like Yakult. It’s sweet and tangy. It really is like mochi but more jelly like. It’s not bad but I don’t like Yakult. I did like the texture.

Ingredients: Starch syrup, sugar, pasteurized lactic acid beverage, glutinous rice flour, potato starch, glutinous rice, lactic acid, D-sorbitol, gelling agent (polysaccharide thickener), citric acid, stabilizers (modified starch), flavors, emulsifiers

What's interesting is that the bag of candy has 1 billion yogurt cultures.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

Hi-Chew Yogurt Mix Review

Fro-yo girl here. I love Hi-Chew, so I was excited to find a bag of Morinaga Hi-Chew Yogurt Mix at Hmart Arcadia (1101 W Huntington Dr., Arcadia, CA). One bag is 3.17 oz and $1.99. It’s made in China under license of Morinaga & Co., Ltd., Japan. The candies are individually wrapped. The assortment includes three flavors: Blueberry Yogurt, Plain Yogurt, Strawberry Yogurt. 

• Plain Yogurt: The candy was very firm and chewy (like Starburst). I think it was firmer than the Hi-Chew from Japan and the pieces were misshapen. The ones from Japan aren’t misshapen. Flavor wise, it tasted like a sweet Yakult like flavor with a slight tang. The texture and flavor reminded me of bubblegum. 
• Strawberry Yogurt: This candy was a little tangier, with a faint strawberry flavor didn’t taste that natural. 
• Blueberry Yogurt: The Blueberry Yogurt flavor was sweeter but more natural. It was the best flavor. 

I had Hi-Chew yogurt before and it was better then.

Ingredients: Glucose syrup, sugar, vegetable oil (palm oil, hydrogenated palm oil), less than 2% of gelatin, natural and artificial flavors, lactic acid, malic acid, sorbitan, monostearate, sucrose fatty acid esters, strawberry jam, strawberry juice concentrate, fruit juice (color), vegetable juice (color), purple sweet potato juice (color), soy lecithin.

One serving is 6 pieces, 130 calories, 3g fat, 19g sugars, and 0g protein.

Morinaga Hi Chew Premium Yogurt Japanese Candy Review

Fro-yo girl here. I recently spotted a new yogurt flavored candy imported from Japan at Mitsuwa in Costa Mesa, CA. They only had one flavor, plain. The manufacturer is Morinaga, the makers of Hi-Chew (I love Hi-Chew). The candy comes in a small plastic pouch with the word Premium on the front.

One pouch is $1.99, 1.23 oz with 140 calories. It’s in the Hi-Chew product family but it looks different from the typical Hi-Chew. Each candy is a flattened oval shape, white in color. It is firm and chewy with a thin yogurt coating. The texture is similar to Hi-Chew, so it’s very chewy. The thin outer coating is sweet. The chewy interior has a creamy, Yakult like flavor. It’s good but I’m not a fan of Yakult flavor which is more sweet than tangy. It also tastes artificial. I really like the candy's texture though.

Ingredients: corn syrup, sugar, glucose, palm oil, concentrated yogurt, gelatin, cream, high fructose corn syrup, milk sauce, pectin, citric acid, artificial flavor.

Yogurt Candy Review: Meiji Yogurt Soft Candy, Senjaku Happy Nikukyu Gummy Candy, Nobel Sours Gummy

Fro-yo girl here. The candymakers in Japan have been busy and yogurt flavored candies are still popular. I found several new yogurt candies on a recent trip to Mitsuwa Market.

Meiji Bulgaria Yogurt Soft Candy Strawberry

Meiji, the maker of Chelsea Yogurt Scotch and Yoglet, now makes Bulgaria Yogurt Soft Candy. Nijiya had one flavor, strawberry. A 33g reseable pouch of Yogurt Soft Candy is $1.89. This was the best tasting candy of the three that I tried. It looks and tastes like a longer, thinner cousin of Mentos. The outer shell of pink strawberry shellac surrounds a firm, chewy interior. It's very chewy and has a slight tartness. It also tastes a bit like bubblegum. The flavor isn't unpleasant but it's not that natural and Mentos tastes better. The candy contains yogurt powder.

Ingredients: Sugar, corn syrup, vegetable oil, gelatin, yogurt powder, sweetened condensed milk, dried strawberry, soy lecithin, sorbitol, acidulant, guar gum, artificial flavor, shellac, vegetable coloring.

4 out of 5 stars.

Senjaku Happy Nikukyu Gummy Candy: Apple Yogurt

These were very cute. The gummy candy is shaped like a kitten's paw. The bottom layer is white and the top layer is a clear pale peach that sparkles. It's firm and chewy like a gummy candy. The flavor seems sweet and bland at first but it becomes more flavorful and has a slight tartness and milky flavor. The apple flavor does not taste natural.  

Each pouch has one flavor of candy. Flavors include peach, cassis, pineapple and apple. A 40g pouch is $1.59.

Ingredients: Corn syrup, sugar, gelatin, milk calcium, powdered oblart (soy), concentrated apple juice, sorbitol, citric acid, artificial flavor, carnauba wax, anthocyanin, carotenoid color.

3 out of 5 stars.

Nobel Sours Gummy: Strawberry Yogurt

Nobel Sours comes in many flavors. I tried their plain gummy yogurt sours in the past and wasn't a fan. The strawberry yogurt flavor is even worse. I don't like the texture because it's too hard. It's more like a hard gelatin than a gummy. The pink rectangles are coated in a powder. The taste is slightly rotten, slightly like berries, and tangy. 

One 45g pouch is $1.79.

Ingredients: Sugar, corn syrup, agar agar, corn oil, strawberry juice, oblaat, acidulant, polishing agent, no animal based artificial flavor, emulsifier, anthocyandin, powdered milk.

Yogurt Candy Review: Kanro Candemina

Fro-yo girl here. I found another Japanese yogurt flavored candy while shopping at Nijiya. Kanro’s Candemina comes in a sealable pouch and it’s labeled as a soft candy.

The candy looks wavy and is a firm and very chewy gummy. It is tangy because of the sour powder coating but it tastes like a children’s chewable vitamin.The gummy part is sweet. I would like it better if it didn’t taste like chewable vitamins.

Ingredients: sugar, corn syrup, polydextrose, gelatine, dextrin, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk powder, acidulant, artificial flavor, starch, calcium carbonate, acesulfame potassium

One 1.48 oz. pouch of Candemina is $1.99 at Nijiya Market. You can buy it online from jbox.

Ogontoh Vitain Yogurt Flavor Candy Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found another Japanese yogurt flavored candy at Nijiya Market in San Mateo. Ogontoh Vitain yogurt candy is a hard candy with two different textures and flavors. It seems to be positioned based on health. The packaging emphasizes that the candy contains vitamin C, calcium and lactobacilli. I found a 3.17 oz. bag of Vitain for $3.49.

The top of the candy is a hard yellow disc, similar to a cough drop in terms of the texture and look. The bottom of the candy is a powdery firm white disc, similar in texture of aspirin. The bottom white disc is pretty tangy due to the fermented milk but also somewhat medicinal tasting. It tastes like tangier Yakult. The yellow part is sweeter without any particularly strong flavor. It takes a long time for one candy to dissolve. The candies are individually wrapped.

Ingredients: Cane sugar, maltitol, glucose, corn syrup, fermented milk, oligo-saccharide, casein phospho peputide, lactic acid bacterium, organic acid, coral calcium flavors, vitamin C, emulsifier

Kanro Pure Gummy Yoghurt & Mango Japanese Candy Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found another yogurt flavored candy at Nijiya Market and this one’s pretty new. Kanro Pure is a line of chewy gummy candies.

* Yoghurt & Mango Gummy: These heart-shaped candies are adorable. They’re flat and firm. I liked the texture - it was firm and chewy without being too chewy. The hearts are coated in sugar. The flavor seemed good at first. They tasted quite tangy and like Yakult. The fruit/mango flavor is very faint. However, the aftertaste is artificial and reminds me of a children’s chewable vitamin. Children’s chewable vitamins taste okay but I don’t want my candy to taste like a vitamin.

One pouch is 1.62 ounces and $1.79.

Ingredients: sugar, corn syrup, gelatine, milk powder, concentrated mango juice, acidulant, pectine, artificial flavor, ascorbic acid, cartotenoid color
