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.
The packaging mimics an American comic-book and newspaper design — "The Nobel's Times since 1986" — a deliberate nod to the candy's playful, eye-catching brand identity. Made in Osaka by Nobel Confectionery.
What makes it distinctive
- Three flavour stages per piece — intense sour powder, sweet lemon core, tart lemon finish.
- "Wake-up" candy intensity — Nobel's original 1985-86 positioning.
- Individually wrapped pieces — pocket, handbag, or share-bowl format.
- Iconic comic-book / newspaper packaging — playful, distinctive brand identity.
