This is a double review, as these two sweets ar same from the same set, Carnival Foods and they’re also both types of Hi-Chew, so actually, it’s almost a tripple review!
Hi-Chew is a Japanese sweet that is very much like the English ‘Chewit’ but only a bit bigger and a lot softer. What I like about these chews is that they’re very easy to eat, so no chewing for ages before getting any taste. There are many flavours avaliable but these two are a little harder to find, they just happen to be two of the best.
The Cotton Candy flavour doesn’t really taste too much like what you’d expect, it has a hint of that taste but tastes of a more dirty sugar variety. When you chew the sweet, you can taste bits of sugar in the chew which gives a tiny burst of sweet flavour which a crunchy texture on the small sugar part.
The Kakigori Flavour is my favourite. Kakigori is actually Shaved Ice with fruit syrup juice on top. This flavour is Blue Hawaian, the best type of Kakigori in my opinon, you’ve probably seen me eating it a lot on the blog. The chew tastes a lot like Blue Kakigori, it’s brilliant!
In summary, Hi-Chew are pretty much the Japanese version of Chewits, they’re chewy but to make them different, they’re much softer and can almost melt in heat, they also have bits of sugar inside giving it a bit of crunch when you come across one of the tiny sugar clumps. I highly recommend picking up a pack.
