Eitaro Fruit Hard Candy Umeboshi Ame
I recently discovered the Eitaro Umeboshi Ame at Muji, and despite no actual umeboshi flavor, the candy's unique shape and smooth texture make it a pleasure to eat. It doesn’t have a unique flavor it kind of taste like plain konpeito candy but still tasty and I love that it’s not too sweet. What truly amazed me is the craftsmanship behind the candy, which dates all the way back to the Edo period. Eitaro has been making confections since 1818, and it shows in the care and quality of these little gems. The candy pieces are perfectly shaped, with smooth edges that make them easy to enjoy without any sharpness inside the mouth. Each piece delivers a subtle sweetness that is absolutely addictive! For anyone seeking a traditional Japanese candy with a touch of history, this is a must-try. The $9.90 price is absolutely worth it for the quality and the experience of tasting a centuries-old recipe. If you're a fan of wagashi like me! or simply curious to try something different, Eitaro Umeboshi Ame is highly recommended.

Solely Mango & Guava Whole Fruit Gummies
With just 2 ingredients - organic mango and guava plus vitamin C, these whole fruit gummies are a nice healthy fruit snack for on the go. I love how guilt-free, simple, clean, and healthy they are. Good flavor and texture with enough sweetness.

Berry De Blanc Pineberries
Found these on Valentine’s Day while looking for some treats. Never tried Pine Berries before. Contrary to the typical strawberry, a pineberry is the polar opposite in color. On the less sweet side but still enjoyable. Instead of looking for the brightest red berry in the store, you will be looking for a pearly, off-white colored berry, with red seeds. The flavor profile of these berries are similar to a traditional strawberry, however, when you bite into a Berry De Blanc, you may notice a subtle pineapple flavor. Hence, why they’re called Pineberries.

Oishii Omakase Berry
These are not your typical berries. The Oishii Omakase Berry is grown in the world's first and largest indoor vertical strawberry farm. It uses technology and nature to replicate the ecosystem of Japan's best strawberry growing region. They taste just like candy. They’re more on the expensive side although they did reduce the price at Whole Foods but still not really meant for everyday. It’s an experience, I say try it at least once.
