Marukawa Gum - ??? : Chinatown, Philadelphia, PA

Marukawa Gum - ??? : Chinatown, Philadelphia, PA  

I actually reviewed this flavor over a year ago, back when I started Sometimes Foodie. I still agree with my review, but my photos were awful.

Since I had the opportunity to take some new photos with some different packaging, I figured I’d re-post and update my review.

The original can be seen HERE.

Strawberry is my typical go-to flavor, so I have tried a LOT of strawberry gums over the years, and this may be the most authentic berry flavor available. (I reviewed the melon flavor before, and it is just as amazing.)

Typically each portion of gum is housed in a little cardboard box with a realistic fruit design that relates to the flavor. In this case the box has been swapped out for a tiny foil package with the same design. Both packages serve their purpose, but I am partial to the little boxes myself. (I like that they can be recycled.)

Some of you might be thinking, “Didn’t you already review grape?” I did. This is actually muscat. It is a different kind of grape that is quite popular in Japan and other countries. There are muscat gummies, sodas, wines, and jellies.

I have already reviewed a few muscat flavored items here on Sometimes Foodie…

• Gummies, more Gummies
• Jelly Beans
• Gummy Choco

Marukawa Candy - ??? : Chinatown, Philadelphia, PA

When I picked up this long strip of candy in Chinatown I wasn’t sure what it was. It felt like a bunch of fruity hard candies, but it turns out that this is Marukawa gum! I have never seen it in this kind of packaging before, usually it is inside tiny cardboard boxes, but I like this foiled bag sampler.

I have already reviewed the strawberry and melon flavors, but this strip still has a decent assortment to review..

• Grape
• Lemon
• Muscat
• Orange
• Strawberry (Already Reviewed)

Today I’ll be reviewing the grape flavored gum.
