Seasonal, limited edition products are very popular in Japan. I like popcorn and on a whim bought this umeboshi popcorn, even though I'm not crazy about these sour plum things (umeboshi). I have to say it wasn't bad. It was almost good. It was okay to try it, but I don't think I will buy it again.
Quite a lot of the umeboshi flavoured snacks, drinks and chewing gums are sweet and the tartiness is just an accent. I used to buy umeboshi chewing gum, but haven't seen it in a while now.
I tried one of these plums once and it was intense! Mixed with something else, like popcorn flavour (presumable a little sweetened too?) I can imagine it being good, though.
The Japanese seem to like unusual (to me) flavoured things!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds interesting, anyway. Worth a taste once.
