Mini Item Contents:

Chameleon Candy (): These are grape covered hard candy. The inside consists one of three flavors: strawberry, orange, and apple (?)

Potekoro Cubes (): Taste like potato chips, with a really strong black pepper taste. But it also reminds me of croutons.

Chu Grape Jelly (): 

Maken Gummy (): I got grape flavored rock and star gummies. It's not bad, but it tastes like medicine... :(

Original Item Content:

Animal Drawing Sherbet DIY (): 

Lifeguard Paste (): Three packets of this, or rather three packets of sugar...

Adzuki Mizu Yokan (Imuraya Oan Mizuyoukan Ogura [Hopefully I got this correct]): ***It's really sweet***This is in a can. It tastes great! I wish I had ice cream to put this on :(. Tastes better when cold imo.

Choco Bar Z Kinako (): Whoa this was soaked in soy flour? It sort of tastes like peanut butter.

Premium Item Content:

Kids Beer ():  It's non alcoholic! For more description of the item, it says to look at page 6.

Kaijiri Chew (): Tastes like cola alright. Take your time or share the taffy.

Sour Lemon Gum ():



Corn Potage Chips (Yaokin Corn Potage) (Bonus Item): On their booklet, they typed Com Potage Chips, haha. You know how most chip bags are half air and half chips? This one has A LOT. This tastes like corn soup with a tint of seaweed.

And here's a picture of everything!
