hi-chew

[Surfah]

I want some of those sour lemon chews!

I also want that samurai thing, whatever it is!

Samurai? You mean sumo?

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

We bought some soda flavored ones on eBay, they tasted like sprite. We are often know to get the big bag of hi-chew at Costco.

Samurai? You mean sumo?

Sumo, yes. I will take it, whatever it is.

I had no idea you had a thing for fat guys.

I can only find those su-ppai-chus at that one combini, and then only sporadically. I've looked at every store in the area and find mostly the traditional grape, strawberry, and green apple flavors. I've also found lichi flavor, but the thought just makes me want to . Very frustrating.

When I find them at the combini, I clear then out and then ask if they have anymore in back, which they don't. Such a crap shoot. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to when they are in stock.

You don't like lichi? Man I love lychee jellies. I'll eat a tub of those without blinking.

World Market and Wegmans are the only places that carries Hi-Chew around me consistently. Usually just grape and strawberry though. I did find Mango Hi-Chew at Wal-Mart though. And they were only $0.70. About half the price of World Market.

I don't want to sully this thread, but I did find some Sour Mamba's the other day. They were really good.

No, I do not like lychee.

$0.70 is cheaper than here in Japan, which is about $1.05.

New flavors are out: Golden Pine Hai-Chew and Pink Grapefruit Suppai-Chew. With exchange rate changes, price is down to about $0.98.

Pretty good, but I still prefer the lemon Suppai-Chews.

I am more interested in the little buddha/sumo thing. That is cool.

Just saw this thread and made an impulse buy on Amazon.



And I was just in Japan.

And you didn't even call.

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

If I send you money will you send some to my house?

I have been enjoying the variety pack (Mango, Grape, Strawberry, Peach, Green Apple). A bit waxier than I expected, but not unpleasantly so- just different, which is good. I'd hate to think I ordered nothing more than off-brand Laffy Taffy or something.

New Suppai-Chew flavor is out: plum! I found these while visiting Matsumoto with my family. Better than gold, frankincense, or myrrh.

It says they are made with Nanko Ume juice and has a warning to be careful of the "texture" (probably referring to the little tart crystals inside). Nanko Ume are used for Umeboshi, a sour, pickled plum used as a garnish for rice during meals or put inside O-negiri.

I also include this picture of Matsumoto Castle. I like it.
