Taste-wise I'd have to say it's decent. Not amazing, but pretty good. It's lightly sweet, fluffy and only lets me down right now cause I'm bloated and craving Pinkberry. (oops, did I just say that?) But check this out: That piece of fuzz ball is actually made of a mixture of sugar and maltose—over 3,000 strands of it. (Believe me, I counted each one.) The filling is made up of finely chopped peanuts, coconut and sesame seeds that fall out once the cocoon is unraveled.

did i give you that totoro kid figure? i just watched that finally btw...
Hmm, honestly I have no recollection. I know you gave me my Sylvania family collection, though. =)
they should call it coccoon candy...
but where can i get them??
(i'm gonna read through it again after i post this just in case i missed it...)
Hmm, good question David. I heard that you can get it made fresh in Hong Kong but stateside might be more difficult. I'll ask around though. =)
The Totoro girl looks extra cute eating the candy!
thank you.. i found some websites that i can order them from, but.... i was hoping to see them and taste one before i order a box. oh well - they look too good to resist anyway. Thanks for the post!
Cool~! Tell me what you think.
oh damn, i've always wanted to try dragon's beard (and this is way after my D&D days *dork*). i used to see it available all the time at the entry way to 99 ranch in roland heights. an old lady used to sell them from her stand. she's no longer there and i've never tried it. *sob*
rameniac, you JUST NOW saw totoro??? what kind of wannabejapaneze iz u?
Oh my gosh, that photo of Mei taking a bite out of the candy is so cute! The candy itself looks really funky. Fascinating! But funky no less. ;D
