Kasugai Sumiyaki Roasted Coffee Hard Candy

I was looking for a specific coffee candy and thrilled to find it here. Easy purchase and fast delivery. Will buy again as they have a great selection of asian sweets.

My go to is still United coffee candy but we wanted to try this for the darker roast flavor. This is a bit more bitter, and definitely a more authentic coffee flavor. Which is great if that's what you're looking for. However the lower star review is primarily because of the shape + size of the candy (like a big round jawbreaker). It was very uncomfortable and awkward to eat, versus the smaller thinner shape of the other coffee candies available which just sits comfortable on your tongue.

The most delicious coffee candy I've ever tasted in my life.

The flavor is akin to having a sweetened otherwise BLACK coffee. There's NO cream/milk/cappuccino flavor here.

So, if you like dark roast, black coffee with a bit of sugar, you will LOVE these.

Personally, I prefer black coffee, and drink it without sugar, but I have always LOVED sweet coffee flavored treats. These candies are now my ultimate favorite sweet coffee treat!

I wish I had known about these sooner.

(It doesn't surprise me that this candy is so incredible, because the company that makes these, Kasugai, also makes my favorite tea candy of all time, "Kasugai Matcha Ame Green Tea Hard Candy").
