The taste is clean and simple, closer to the middle of a boiled sweet than to a fruit lolly. Buy it if you want a sweet you look at as much as eat. If you are expecting each colour to be its own flavour, they all taste the same — the colours are for looks, not for flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the pack: こんぺいとう.
