Furano Melon Dice Caramels by Donan Foods: Juicy Melon Aroma and Mellow Milk Sweetness

I think there is a useful “one more small item” category in the world of souvenirs.

When someone says, “I went to Hokkaido—here is a souvenir,” most of us unconsciously imagine receiving something in the 500-to-1,000-yen range.

Trying to meet that expectation for every recipient can turn into a considerable expense.

At times like that, inexpensive products such as these Furano Melon Dice Caramels are very convenient as an additional little gift.

I bought them for my children at home during a Hokkaido fair.

Furano Melon Dice Caramels (Donan Foods)

A pack of ten caramels cost 170 yen.

These caramel boxes shaped like dice are so nostalgic!
I remember a classmate using the empty dice boxes for a summer-vacation craft project long ago. 🙂
And making even the dots on the dice look like melons is an especially delightful touch.

Five square dice-shaped boxes are connected in a row.

To show the size, I placed them next to a Wii Remote. Admittedly, fewer people seem to own one now, so the comparison may not be especially helpful.

One pack, weighing 57 grams, contains 247 kcal.

The best-before date is printed on the side. It keeps for about six months, which is wonderfully convenient.

What Do Furano Melon Dice Caramels Taste Like?

Each little box contains two charming pieces.

The caramels are orange, like the flesh of a Furano melon.
Their small, bite-size shape makes them easy to eat. 🙂

A juicy Furano melon aroma fills your mouth. The mild, gentle milkiness is soothing as well.

One piece seems enough to offer a comforting pause when you are tired.
Melon-flavored caramel is unusual, and the appearance is cute, so my child happily kept eating them at snack time. 🙂

The small size is convenient when giving them to young children, but they are still caramels, so take care that children do not choke.
When offering one, be sure to add a quick word of caution.

If you hand out the little dice boxes as they are, someone is almost certain to say, “What is this? It is so cute!”
They are highly recommended when you want to adjust the overall volume and cost of a souvenir selection.

Thank you for the treat.
