🇯🇵Japanese Local Review — Pasta-Shaped Fettuccine Gummy 🍇 Heading to Japan? Haribo Goldbears at every airport, every grocery store, every country. But this ¥120 conbini gummy? Only in Japan. 🍇 Bourbon's Fettuccine Gummy Italian Grape — the gummy locals actually grab while tourists default to Haribo at the airport. Sold at every Japanese conbini (convenience store) for ~¥120 ($0.80).
