Hard Milk Candy

I tried my first international candy.  I ordered something called hard milk candy from Japan.

I have to admit I was really excited when I saw the parcel. First, I ripped away the box to get to the candy package. When I held it my hand, I studied it all over. The Japanese print made me a little more giddy than it should have, I think. I tore off a label sticker on the back that contained nutritional information in English. To me, it ruined the authenticity of the package.

After marveling at the packaging, I pulled it open, carefully pulled. I did not want to damage it in anyway.

Then I grabbed one of the little candies. They're individually wrapped, so I had another package to study. Being smaller and with less print and having the candy inside, I spent less time looking over this little package.  I tore open the wrapper and took the cream colored candy in my hand. Of course I looked it over. I circled my finger over its disc shape. Then I popped it in my mouth.  First I tasted milk then a subtle sweetness hit.  I think the best comparison is condensed sweetened milk.  I found it to be a pleasant candy that got better the more I kept it in my mouth. It's definitely worth a try.
