Ace Summer yuzu and chicken noodles

Got these noodles because they seemed refreshing as it had grapefruit and chicken.

When I removed the lid, there were two sachets, one for condiments and the other was soup.

The condiments sachet had dehydrated: cabbage, bok-choy, seasoned minced chicken, corn, green onion, and red pepper.

As for the soup powder I was slightly disappointed because the grapefruit smell was really faint.

After adding hot water and letting it to stand 3 minutes they were ready to eat.

The prominent flavour I could taste was just grapefruit peel and that was not very pleasant.

I was expecting a strong chicken flavouring with a refreshing touch of citrus or grapefruit.

The labelling is quite interesting it has a table of all the ingredients and the ones that are in these noodles are highlighted.

Fujiya Grapefruit Jelly Gummy

I love pink grapefruit so got these pink grapefruit jellies.

Although they are called gummys they were not chewy, the texture was the same as soft jelly sweets.
Anyway the gummys were coated in sugar and it even had the natrual bitter taste of real pink grapefruit.

Corallines jelly drink

Saw this drink made with corralline algae and got it because I have never heard of it.

There were four flavours: prune, grapefruit, grape and mixed fruit.

I got the grapefruit and one which I thought was natrual but it turned out to grape when I looked closer at the labelling.

Anyway, as expected I did not like the grape because the grape flavouring was really artificial, the grapefruit fared better however it was really vinegary.
The colour of the grapefruit was transparent light pink jelly.

7-Signature ZERO Kcal grapefruit soda

As expected it tasted really artificial because when drinks claim to be low in calories or not so sweet it contains those modified sugars which taste horrible.

Japanese octopus flavoured soda

Shame this drink doesnt have a website, but the Japanese have come up with these weird fizzy drinks that have a marble at the bottleneck, and you need to push the marble down into the bottle in order to drink it, the bottle neck is obviously smaller than the marble so the marble stays safely in the bottle when you drink it.

Anyway the cool thing about the drink is its unusual flavour, "grilled octopus"

There are nine flavours in total:

1)Original
2)Strawberry
3)Grapefruit
4)Apple
5)Melon
6)Kimchi
7)Chestnut
8)Grilled Octopus
9)Peach

I wish I got the Chestnut one too, maybe next time!!
After trying the grilled octopus flavour, I felt it tasted weird, there was a slight sweetness to it, and it somehow tasted like beer.
The aftertaste was horrible, it was like a mix of wine and old oil.

Grapefruit juice imported from Thailand

Just tastes like ordinary sweetened grapefruit juice wtih grapefruit pulp.

It dosnt have the citrus taste of the European grapefruit.

I liked it because of the packaging, very Western with all the nutritional values labelled and most importantly, it has English!
