Meiji candies

A co-worker of mine visited this week from our Tokyo office.  She and the kiddo had fun when we went out for sushi last time she was here, so she brought him some gifts from Japan this visit.  Thanks Mayumi!  Part of the gift was some Japanese Meiji candies.  We ate the Pokémon candies last night (kiddo was nice and shared) and we’re going to save the rest for our bento lunches.  These were really yummy.  Most of them were kind of like tart little skittles. Our favorites were some chocolate ones in the Pikachu box that were really yummy and had cool little yellow stars that ran through them.  Of course I didn’t get those in the photo.  Oops.  I tried googling them, and I think they were Pokémon branded Choco Babies.  I’m heading over to United Noodles today for some groceries so I’m going to see if they have any there.
