Nobel Super Lemon (スーパーレモン) 88 g — Japan's iconic sour candy, first launched in 1985-86 by Nobel Confectionery as a "wake-up" candy and still a long-seller four decades on. Each individually wrapped piece delivers three flavour stages: an intensely sour powder coating bursts first, a sweet lemon hard candy emerges next, then finishes with a tart lemon note.
