I like red bean flavor! Admittedly, my Japanese roots have probably primed my taste buds for certain unconventional flavors, but the red bean White Rabbit is tasty (but regular White Rabbit is still my all-time favorite). As for the adventure part, I've had kuro sato (black sugar) flavored candy before; it's kind of a weird Japanese/Okinawan thing, but this one was just blech on many levels. No way, Sea Hag!

I've discovered that red bean candy tastes like butt. It’s fun to be adventurous with candy, but it’s even better when your candy adventure pays off with non-crappy candy.

Tracy - Wow, I can't believe someone else has tried these! I couldn't find anything about them on the Internet at all (not in English anyway) so I figured they were pretty obscure. Yeah, sweetish dirt is about right, unfortunately. Cybele – Usually I love brown/black sugar candy too so I was extra-sad that these were such a letdown.

This is the same candy my beloved boyfriend brought me back from Japan! He doesn't read a lick of Japanese, so he was picking candy based on the sweet packaging, but it wasn't quite the taste sensation we were hoping for. We savored the candy shell, and then the center emerged--dun dun DUN!!! Ugh, I'm a very adventurous eater, but I just couldn't get on board with this candy. It was a bit like chewing on sweetish dirt--blergh! Next time I'll just ask for Pocky. Aaaaah! This is the same candy my beloved boyfriend brought me back from Japan!

But I also eat muscovado sugar by the spoonful. You should get a hold of the Chelsea black sugar, that was dreamy. I love black sugar candy (but I haven’t had this particular variety).
