The Japanese are very creative when it comes to candy flavors and treats. There is a plethora of sweets that might possibly cover all types of interesting (and sometimes downright disgusting) ingredients, so it is no surprise that they have created Sushi Bonbons.
With a precise and intricate design, these candies look fantastic. The package even breaks down the parts of sushi into rice and different fish pieces. Although they look delightful, I hope the Sushi Bonbons do not incorporate the raw fishy flavor of actual sushi.
