$6.24 per 100 gA hard herb candy from Ryukakusan with a mild milk flavour over the herbs. Buy it if you want Ryukakusan's herbal taste in a milder, milky form. If you avoid milk or bee products, this is the wrong bag.
On the pack: 龍角散ののどすっきり飴 120max, in a gold bag. Ryukakusan is said "ryoo-kah-koo-sahn". Nodo sukkiri is the name of the range, and sukkiri means fresh and clear.
This is a sweet, not Ryukakusan's medicine: the maker sells it as candy, with no dose and nothing it treats.
Sugar (made in Japan), glucose syrup, creaming powder, vegetable fat, herb powder, skim milk powder, propolis extract, royal jelly extract, herb extract, flavouring, colours (caramel, chlorophyll), emulsifier, acidity regulator. Contains milk.
For your safety, please check both the information on this page and the printed label on the pack. If anything is unclear or the information differs, please contact us before consuming the product.
It contains royal jelly and propolis, both made by bees, so it is not vegan. Royal jelly has been reported to cause severe allergic reactions, in rare cases fatal, especially in people with asthma or allergies. Propolis can also cause severe allergic reactions.

In their own words
Counts of how many reviews mentioned each thing, not a score. One review can mention several. Every quote is our translation, with the original Japanese beneath it.
I always thought Ryukakusan was too strong-tasting to keep in my mouth, but the mild milk in this one is spot on, and it's delicious.
今までは龍角散ってクセがあって舐めにくいと思っていましたが、これはマイルドミルクが絶妙で美味しい。

Milk and herbs just don't go together…
ミルクとハーブは合わない…
from monolog
If you can't handle the blue one, this one might be a little easier to eat (easier to keep in your mouth), I'd say.
青い方が苦手な方は、こちらなら多少食べやすい(舐めやすい)かな、と。
from monolog
I'd be happier if it were a little less sweet.
もう少し甘さ控えめだと嬉しいです。
from monolog
Within the Ryukakusan range, I'd put this among the best-tasting.
龍角散の中では1番美味しい部類だと思う。

Sweeter than I imagined!
想像していたより甘〜い!
from mognavi
That medicinal taste is strangely addictive.
この薬っぽい味がまたなんとも言えずクセになります。

Even when I stray to other brands, I always end up back with this one.

The maker
Ryukakusan began as a family remedy made for the lords of the Akita domain in northern Japan. In 1871 the third generation of the Fujii family reworked the recipe and began selling it to the public in Tokyo, under a name taken from three of its ingredients. The company is still based in Tokyo.
The candy range came much later, in 2011: a hard sweet carrying Ryukakusan's own herb powder of quince and chamomile, alongside nineteen herb extracts. In Japan it is sold as food, separate from the medicine that made the name famous.
