Hello all snack lovers!
I’m Japanese and Japanese snack lover!
I introduce “Japanese snacks” not only for their deliciousness and taste, but also for the stories and history behind them.
This time, I would like to talk about “HI-CHEW”.
It is a popular candy with a chewy texture, but have you ever wondered why Hi-Chews were created or why they are named Hi-Chews?
This short video introduces the history and trivia behind the delicious taste.

We would love to hear your favorite Japanese sweets and recommendations as well!
Your requests will be the next video.
Thanks for reading — I look forward to sharing more snacks with you! 😊

It says it isn’t sticky. I don’t know what variety that is, but every one I tried is sticky as heck.
I love a candy in Japan called “neriame”, where you knead the candy with the two sticks provided in the package. As you knead, the candy gets real soft and airy. It’s cool cause you have to kind of put in effort to enjoy it.
There’s a distributor in the US outside of Burlington, NC
The Kiwi one has actual kiwi seeds in it, for some reason
The chews with the little gummies in them are amazing. Puchao’s
I love the Ramune flavor
I don’t get it. Japanese people were unsure about chewing gum in public so a company created…chewing gum?
This is really interesting, and I thank you for such a cool video!
Japan, to me, is a really special place, and I would absolutely love to travel everywhere from Wakkanai to Okinawa.
As for the food, well… It’s top tier, without a doubt!
The snacks are great too, though I haven’t tried too many, as the only way for me to find them is to visit an Asian grocery shop, and it’s not all that cheap in Australia
Nonetheless, you seem like an awesome person, with an equally awesome passion for Japanese snacks, and that has earned my respect.
Once again, thank you for teaching us about Hi-Chew!
ありがとうございます!
The green apple one was really good
