Have you ever wondered what would happen if a salmon fillet and a chewy candy fell in love?
Nope, us neither.
But Japan has. More specifically, the company UHA Mikakuto in collaboration with Sanrio, has.
Yup, they’ve made a salmon-flavored candy, born of the insatiable attraction between new character KIRIMI-chan (a salmon fillet) and the well-known candy Puccho.
Netizens are going crazy over this crazy new candy, but will fish-flavored confectionery really catch on? Would you try it?
From Naver Matome:
Salted Salmon Flavor…The Mysterious Collaboration Between Puccho Candy And KIRIMI Chan
When you think of KIRIMI-chan, you think of the Sanrio character based on a fillet of salmon. So I’m kinda worried what this is gonna taste like (ﾟＡﾟ;) GULP!
OP: AMIAYAさん
A Twist Of Fate? …An Unbelievable Collaboration
And So The Pair Were Drawn Together
From: www.puccho.jp
The chewy candy Puccho, a household name, and KIRIMI-chan, a Sanrio character.
And Then…Salted Salmon Flavor Was Born!!
From www.puccho.jp
For real?＼(^o^)／
UHA-Mikakuto’s chewy candy “Puccho”‘s novel new flavor has appeared. And believe it or not, it’s “salted salmon flavor”!
From: Netorabo: “Salted Salmon Flavor” Puccho Launched With Sanrio’s “KIRIMI-chan”
The new product, which kinda makes you doubt what you’ve heard — “S-salted salmon flavor….!?” — is born from a collaboration with “KIRIMI-chan”.

Puccho fell in love with KIRIMI-chan…
“It seems that it’s been made to have a refreshing taste because it has lemon gummi in it.”
From: Netorabo: “Salted Salmon Flavor” Puccho Launched With Sanrio’s “KIRIMI-chan”
But wait, doesn’t it have flakes of fish in it? w
“Salted salmon flavor, highly unusual for a chewy candy. In pursuit of a real flavor, there is a salmon flake in the center of each candy.”
From: Puccho Salted Salmon Flavor: UHA Mikakuto
They’ve been really thorough, even putting a salmon flake in each one.

Salted salmon flavor Puccho. Thank you Saijo-kun! But honestly, it doesn’t taste so good 笑
蓮檸檬♣︎7/18worksｻｰｸﾙ参加:
Pretty individual thought behind this Puccho salted salmon flavor…This Puccho has a kinda dubious flavor that ain’t salted salmon…It doesn’t taste good, and I’ll never buy it again. (But my friend said it was great, so there’s definitely a personal difference there)
Don’t really need the salmon flake in there…

えがしら:
Yesterday I got my first gift. The salmon inside was really salty but covered in something sweet — I really recommend it was a whole new dimension of disgusting, made me feel sick. Seems I’ll never be that friendly with the person who bought me this or KIRIMI-chan either. pic.twitter.com/tZF8ORJAM3
Even has an effect on relationships www
Isn’t This Something You Eat With Rice?
“You could even say that rather than this being candy, it’s more like a side dish. Would probably go pretty well with rice?”
From: “Would Probably Go Pretty Well With Rice…? Puccho And KIRIMI-Chan Collaboration “Salted Salmon Flavor” Goes On Sale!” [Pouch]
ろそ:
Definitely wanna eat some rice with this salted salmon Puccho stuff.
