What is the best sour candy in Japan?

So I don’t eat a lot of candy but I find myself craving some sour candy like warheads. I’ve tried most of the stuff at the combini that says sour on it but I’ve found them to be pretty disappointing on the sour scale. Let’s hear some recommendations from my fellow suppai lovers?

  1. I’m not sure if they still have it, but Kaldi used to have these rainbow ribbon gummy things that were not bad on the sour scale. And also something similar to sour punch straws.

  2. Haribo サワーゴールドベア. Maybe not super sour, but super delicious! Amazon JP has them, but I think I’ve seen them in a few stores, too.

  3. Man they used.to have TOUGH gummy with ume/plum flavour – crazy sour and so delicious. Haven’t seen it in 3 years though rip…

  4. They have these candies called シゲキックス at my Daiso that are actually pretty close to Warheads. They even make your mouth hurt a little!

  5. Not that sour but the haribo sour gummy bears. So good. Kaldi usually has some random decent sour stuff.

  6. Bro at the moment Pure and Marosh are doing a kikan gentei lemon gummy, it’s super good.

    If you can find them I recommend.

  7. Wait… no one has mentioned kamu kamu yet? カムカム?

    It is pretty much the go to sour semi-soft candy, comes in different flavors, some limited release. Makes it fun to check out the monthly offerings.

  8. Had to give up on the sour adventure. Found warheads gummies of different types at donki in Shibs and they are aggressively mid tier. Sour rating of 0.4 out of 10 but one of them paints your mouth blue so that’s cool.

  9. I don’t normally eat candy, but I tried some Mango Premium Puré the other day and loved it.

  10. スッパスギール, but be warned, it’s not for the weak.
    It’s not very common, more likely found in supermarkets

  11. I love Nobel brand Super Soda and Super Lemon. They’re sour and taste good. Usually can find in the donki or vanguard. They sometimes have the umeboshi flavor which is also pretty sour but unless you like that flavor it’s not worth it. I love it myself but Soda and Lemon are also just really tasty. Cola is probably the worst imo.

  12. Haha, if you’re in Osaka I have a bunch of warheads that I brought from America. I gave one to a Japanese guy at a bar and he spit it on the ground.
