Japanese Candy Makers

The traditional Japanese method of producing candy has introduced something novel to the world. The brand's goods are all genuine and infused with a traditional Japanese spirit. Japan has a huge selection of high-quality confectionery, from well-known brands to exciting new products. Candy in Japan goes far beyond ready-made, on-the-go delights. It seizes both the clients' hearts and their tongues.

We were curious to find out how Japanese candy is made, but just like Willy Wonka's Factory, it's really hard to get a tour of a Japanese candy factory. Luckily, we were able to partner with Coris, makers of our favorite Whistle Candy, to see how some Japanese candies are made!

Coris Candy Factory

Japanese candy store Coris was formed in 1948 and had a lengthy history. Coris Incorporation has produced and sold sweets, primarily made from children's chewing gum. In addition to providing children with sweets, Coris candy store is a pioneer in the field of confectionery for kids. Coris is proud of its exceptionally long-selling products, for which it pays great attention to the raw materials for the health of its customers. Their adorable Japanese DIY candy kits, fun whistle candies, and other items are what they are best known for. They have been innovating over the years to continue producing tasty treats and amusing candies that are loved by many.

Behind the Scenes in Coris Candy Factory

For this special treat, we invited long-time subscriber Tony Hawk to come tour with us and see how some of the items he picked out for September's Crate were being made. Tony even got to meet the President of Coris!

Before getting started with the tour, we were required to wear sanitary garments....they made us feel like surgeons from a scary movie... Maybe next Halloween costume? The lighting in the picture doesn't help. Once we were all dressed and ready to go, we headed into the factory. We expected the factory to have a lot of automated assembly lines with mostl machines running everything. We were pleasantly surprised to instead see many people checking and packaging the candy!

Some of the candy went through amazing transformations! Below you can see how one giant taffy-like block gets turned into a small rope. This is how those chewy straw gummies and gums are made! We even got to see September's Sour Gum being made, and packaged!!

The bags that are rejected due to products being defective or not enough products get placed in this bin. YAY QUALITY CONTROL!

Once all the packages were checked and good to go, they were placed in their boxes to be shipped! These boxes then go to our warehouse so we can pack your crates!! Want to taste one of these goodies form the Coris factory?

Sweets frequently come in flower and leaf shapes, as well as a variety of flavors, some of which are pretty peculiar, and Coris Whistle Candy is no exception. These Japanese candies have the same form as polo mint candies but are flavored with ramune, a common Japanese soft drink that tastes a lot like lemonade. Each candy includes a tiny hole in the center that allows you to blow air through it. This Japanese candy in the shape of a donut is packaged with a mystery toy that changes color when exposed to light.
