Discover the Delight of HI-CHEW: Japan's Beloved Chewy Candy Now at YEG Exotic
At YEG Exotic, Edmonton's premier destination for international snacks and treats, we're thrilled to introduce our customers to HI-CHEW, Japan's number one soft candy. This delectable confection has garnered a global following, and we're excited to bring its unique flavours and textures to our Edmonton community.
A Brief History of HI-CHEW
HI-CHEW was born in Japan in 1975, developed by Morinaga & Co., Ltd. The candy was created to offer a chewable treat that mimicked the experience of chewing gum but could be swallowed, aligning with Japanese etiquette that considers it impolite to remove food from one's mouth. This innovative approach led to the creation of a soft candy that delivers a burst of real fruit flavour with every chew.
What Makes HI-CHEW Unique?
HI-CHEW's distinctiveness lies in its double-layer structure, designed to replicate the authentic taste of biting into fresh fruit. The outer layer provides an initial burst of flavour, while the inner layer offers a sustained, juicy taste sensation. This meticulous design ensures that each piece delivers a true-to-life fruit experience.
A World of Flavours
One of the most exciting aspects of HI-CHEW is its extensive range of flavours. Since its inception, over 200 flavours have been developed, with more than 50 currently available worldwide. Classic options include grape, strawberry, and green apple, each offering a unique taste experience.
In Japan, HI-CHEW also offers regional flavours that celebrate local produce, such as Setouchi lemon and Okinawa shikuwasa, providing a taste of Japan's diverse fruit offerings.
