Okay, I was given this by a guy at Japan Club. I asked him what it was, but he just shrugged and said, "Candy, maybe?" (He's not anywhere near fluent in Japanese, like myself.)

If anyone can translate this for me, I'd be really, really super grateful! :)

Looks like gummy candy that tastes like green tea.

Like gummy bears?

Here's the back of the bag. I saw the pictures and started thinking, "WTF? What are they, breath mints?"

(Sorry about the bad image. I still don't have a digital camera, so I'm stuck scanning stuff. :( )

green tea mint.
looks to me to resemble pastilles on the package, but i'm sure it's green tea mint.

Green tea mints.
Yeap.

May not be minty flavoured though.

Actually bet they taste great.

I want some RIGHT NOW!.

The 2 large sized kanji is "Green Tea".
The words to the left of it mean: "A green tea mint flavored gummy mixed with green tea catechin and mint that will make your mouth feel refreshed."

Basically it's like one of those Excel gums where you can consume to get rid of bad breath. Like when brushing your teeth isn't a viable option, when your breath stinks of smoke, or when you eat things like onions that'll give you bad breath, just take a Green Tea Mint Gummy and you're good to go!

Haha, like Japanese Mentos. *sigh* I miss those old cheesy mentos commercials.

I'm going to try one right now...

Aw, they're individually packaged, how cute... (The packaging looks a minature version of the big bag.)

Hey, not bad. Mmm. Reminds me I need to buy some green tea during break...
