Bontan Ame (Pomelo Candy)

Place it in your mouth without unwrapping it. From behind the dissolving oblate, a chewy and elastic mochi candy appears, and as you chew, the refreshing aroma of 'Bontan' (pomelo), a tropical citrus, spreads through your mouth. Bontan Ame is a mochi confection that Seika Foods in Kagoshima has continued to make since 1924. Its main feature is the soft dough made from glutinous rice infused with pomelo flavor, with each piece individually wrapped in oblate. This oblate does not need to be peeled and can be eaten as is. It is a true long-seller representing Kagoshima, loved for nearly a century. The gentle sweetness and citrus aroma evoke a sense of nostalgia. It is a simple flavor that makes you reach for one piece after another.
