Lotte Koume Plum Candy | Japan’s Iconic Sweet & Sour Classic

A masterpiece of Japanese confectionery since 1974. Koume (meaning "Little Plum") is a multi-layered sensory journey that captures the true essence of Ume (Japanese plum). Each candy features a tangy plum-powder coating that gives way to a sweet, nostalgic hard candy shell, eventually revealing a rich, concentrated plum jam center. Famous for its artistic packaging and perfectly balanced "sweet-and-salty" profile, it remains one of Japan’s most beloved candies for over 50 years.

Why Koume is a Japanese Staple:
  • The "Koume" Experience: Known for its signature three-stage flavor—starting with an intense, salty-sour kick and ending in a deep, jammy sweetness.
  • Artistic Legacy: The packaging features the famous illustrations by Shinsuke Hayashi, depicting "Koume-chan," a symbol of first love in Japanese culture.
  • Variety in Every Bag: Includes standard bite-sized candies plus two extra-large plum candies for a more intense flavor experience.
  • Natural Plum Essence: Made with real plum juice to ensure an authentic Umeboshi-inspired taste.

Confectioner's Note: To keep the plum powder coating fresh and tangy, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
