I picked up this tube of Juicy thinking it was Ramune flavour, because usually Ramune candy is this same blue colour, but when I got home I realised it's Cider. Never mind, because I like cider anyway.
When I opened the lid it smelled very similar to ramune anyway...very much like lemonade. Usually "cider" means apple, because it comes from "apple cider", but this doesn't smell like apple.
Each tablet is white and has blue and green specks. At first the taste is like soda water with a hint of lemonade, and then it gets sweet. The specks in the tablet are crunchy but don't seem to have much taste. There is a very vague apple flavour, like I'm almost imagining it to be there. The tablet has a slight fizzy effect but I can't work out if it's from the specks or the tablet itself.
These are kind of weird...they don't really taste like cider. More like a distant relative of cider. I think the person who made this was really thinking of Ramune at the time. I can't really say I'm a fan. They leave a funny aftertaste in my mouth too...

Oh wow. I checked your blog, but I didn't expect to see that you've been posting.
It's great to see you reviewing again. I have to start up again too, I was busy with my job almost the entire summer, so I haven't been. But it just ended, so :P
It looks good, too bad it didn't taste as good though. I got something like this recently, only as a pineapple flavor. I hope to try it out soon & I hope that it's good.
Oh I saw the pineapple flavour, its in a gold package right? For some reason the pineapple was more expensive, it must have been limited or something. Yep, I came back to blogging, I had a free sunday so I spent all day taking pictures and writing reviews so I could set them to post in advance...now I have to go buy some more J snacks as I'm all out!
Sounds like you had a busy summer, glad to see you're back blogging too :) xx
I'm quite sure in Japan/East Asia, cider refers mostly to a lemon-lime drink sort of like sprite rather than the apple cider you might be thinking of.
I've started following your blog- nice to see some snacks that I don't see in the US! I try to review Japanese snacks I can find in my local supermarket or Asian food market.
