Ramblings of a Nerdy Ninja

This is my Japanese candy appreciation post. My little brother used to live in Japan (he's since moved back to the states.. I know he's "special") one of the benefits is that his dad and step mom still live there. Yesterday he got the holy grail of packages from them it contained the regular stuff from parents shirts, stuff for your first apartment yada yada, but then we saw it, delicious Japanese candy in it's bright neon packages with beautiful characters we couldn't read. It's like that with authentic Japanese candy you can't read it so it's like an adventure because you could get fragrant melon perhaps smooth creamy yogurt or it could be octopus. You never know. I started my day today with grape candies that upon hitting your tongue melt into a sweet powder that tastes like a fresh green grape not that weird american grape, however we discovered if you eat too many they also dissolve the inside of your mouth. I followed that with yogurt gumballs that were reminiscent of the inside of a creamcicle. Aaaah Japanese candy HOW I LOVE THEE!!!
