Boton Rice Candy!?

Question

Who knows what I'm talking about!?

Answer 1

Botan Rice Candy is a soft, chewy, slightly lemon-orange flavored candy with an outer layer of rice paper. The rice paper is clear and plastic-like when dry, but it is edible and melts in the mouth. It is a traditional Japanese candy and it is imported from Japan by JFC International Inc..

Botan Rice Candies come in a small box which contains 3/4 oz. or 21 grams of the candy. The box advertises "free children's sticker inside" although the company replaced the sticker in the box with a temporary tattoo in 2003. Prior to the stickers, tiny plastic toys would sometimes be offered inside the box. There are six candies per box.

When it is fresh, the candy inside the rice paper wrapper is soft and pleasantly chewy without being a special danger to fillings (although it's not entirely free of risk, either). When old or stale the candy can be hard at first, warming and softening as chewed. The rice paper is a surprising, unexpectedly sweet texture that dissolves rapidly into a lightly gooey penumbra around the body of the candy. When all six pieces are done, one is tempted to just grab and eat another box. The taste is sweet but not overwhelmingly so. However, the flavor is not the reason to eat this product--the perplexing and fascinating mix of textures is.

I hope this was helpful,Take Care!!! :)
