Looks like the Japanese equivalent of
Mushy Peas.

I would take the candy sushi over candy corn. Pretty sure candy corn is just decorative candy and not fit for consumption.

Speaking of candy that is positively minging, those "circus peanuts" that always seem to survive even a nuclear winter rate at the very bottom of my list of snacks. I do not think starvation would impel me to sample another of these.
One of the few chocolate candies I do find appealing are the Riesen Chewy Chocolate Caramels. I do not eat it regularly but I can easily enjoy three for a snack. They are not too sweet and it is one of the better chocolate coatings I have encountered.

As an 11-year-old running around the old warehouse of steve-in-kville's employer, these were my very favorite when a box happened to be broken and available for sampling.

If you still enjoy them I should happily send you any that are gifted to me. Do not get your expectations too high though. The family knows I cannot stand them.

I forgot about circus peanuts. Not a fan.
Funny you should bring that up. Any idea what year that could have been?

Oh wow. They would have either just moved into the current location or it was still being built.
