There is a stall at Shinagawa Station to promote and sell local food and handicrafts.
The theme will change every week to attract massive commuters and train users.
A stall is promoting Kyushu area’s local food and I bought this jumbo size Bontan-ame (bontan citrus flavored soft candy).
I can say this is one of Japanese traditional candies because the company in Kagoshima has been producing it for 90 years, since 1926!
I also bought a regular size to compare the size.
You can see how big it is, right!!
And surprise, surprise, four baby Bontan-ame come out from a Jumbo size!
This Bontan-ame is special because it reminds me of my grandmother.
When I was little, I told her I like this candy.
Since then she bought it every time I visited her.
One day I told her I have grown up and she can stop buying it.
But she kept on buying.
Yes… I miss her…
