Lotte Koume-chan is a long-standing Japanese hard candy produced by Lotte, renowned for its signature sweet-and-sour plum (ume) flavor. Each bag contains a three-layered taste experience: a tart plum powder coating, a sweet plum-flavored candy shell, and a concentrated ume paste center. 

 

Ume flavor, derived from Japanese plums, is one of Japan's traditional flavors. The candy begins with a salty, sour real ume flavor in the outer shell, transitions to a delightful sweetness in the second layer, and concludes with a chewy ume (plum) center. The combination of these flavors provides a refreshing and unique taste experience.

 

Ingredients: Sugar, millet jelly, concentrated plum juice, plum powder, plum puree, plum extract, citric acid, colored with fruit and vegetable juice, flavor.
