Review: BEST konpeito! Large, perfect shapes, delicious! - BEST konpeito candies ever. I have tried other brands before, and while they are okay, nothing compares to these ones. These are far superior in both flavor, size, texture, and amount! I love sharing these candies as a treat with my children and I will continue to purchase from this company! Thank you for this wonderful sweet treat!
Review: Delish - Japanese candy for tea, yes please! These are great for tea and I am honestly questioning my sanity because I should have been buying these years ago. It gives just the right amount of sweetness to tea without the heaviness of accidentally spilling extra table sugar out of that ridiculous spoon I'm using. I can just plop in 2 of these and its done! I don't drink sugar in my coffee but wanted to try this in it just to see what would happen and it was fine. Too sugary for me in the coffee but in the Tea, YES! Excellent buy, great pricing and came sufficiently packaged with not issues.

## Features

This traditional process gives every piece the authentic taste and quality expected from real Japanese Konpeito.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its konpeito but that's all really
*by F***X on May 29, 2025*

This is the most basic konpeito when it comes to what's available aside from the size which is larger than average. No taste, it's basically rock candy / sugar cube with no flavoring. My expectations were already at that level but what gets a star taken off is the color. For what is shown on the product page versus what you get its washed out trading bold coloring for light pastels. Konpeito is considered a table top candy which can have a displayable presence. They are not too tough to chew in and not too brittle either and as for the cost per ounce it's not a bad deal but what you're getting is just formed sugar in a pleasing shape and subpar colors.
