Kumamoto Drops? -
08-13-2009, 12:01 AM
Rewatching Grave of the Fireflies the other day, I had to look and see if those little candies were still being made. To my surprise I found them and there are tons of flavors. Sadly, I have to order them because they don't have them where I live. My question is, has anyone tried any of them and are the flavors actually close to what they say they are?

We just recently got a whole box of them as a gift. (Big bag of the candies, and a full retro can)
I`m also going to guess you meant Sakuma Drops. As for tasting like what they`re meant to, well, I`d say they`re as close as the average hard candy.

Funny, I just finished watching that movie again today.
A market kind of close to where I reside sold it one time and never again. They were quite yummy. Eh, as for flavor I don't remember too well, unfortunately. I remember adoring melon, though.

"Drops" are pretty much generic hard candy.
There is nothing outstanding or special about them, it`s just a name. Those with weird flavors are just a gimmick type thing, just as you can find weird tasting things as a joke outside Japan. I have never seen anyone actually eating them, and have only seen one or two types as "joke" gifts in tourist places.
