Japan Soda Candy...where to buy?

[Pacman]

Does anyone know where to buy Lion brand "Jan Jaga" soda candy balls in Calgary?

The package looks like this:

They are individually wrapped little balls of goodness. I had one at a sushi restaurant in Toronto and would like to get more.

I went to T&T supermarket. They had similar Japan soda candy there, but it wasn't the same.

thanks

Don't know of any Japanese specialty food stores in Calgary unfortunately. Every time I'm in Vancouver I hit up konbiniya on Robson St. http://www.konbiniya.com/

you could try Dragon City Mall over in Downtown They have a candy shop there filled with this kind of candy

I remember when I was younger they sold it at t& t and 88 as a package with all different types of Japanese gum.

As stated, perhaps try Qualala in Dragon City Mall.

If no good, maybe Lambda on Center St. ?

Which T&T did you go to? Pacific Mall or Harvest Hills? I am pretty sure I saw these at the Harvest Hills location.

The only places I am aware where you can buy Japanese candy:

- T&T (both, biggest selection)
- Lambda (good selection)
- That place mentioned in Dragon City Mall (good selection)
- Arirang Oriental Foods (beside Korean Village/Dae Jang Geum restaurant) (OK selection)
- Koreana Bros. across from Churchill (limited selection)
- Tops 100 Supermarket in New Asia (very limited selection)
- Hong Kong Supermarket on 17th Ave (extremely limited selection)

Feel free to add to the list if anyone knows anymore... I love Japanese candy LOL.

Is the bag the exact same as the picture I posted?

I went down there today and bought a bag of something similar (the bag has a blue/silver color to it and has 10 flavors vs the 8 of the one I'm looking for). They are not bad, but not the exact same as the other ones.

Are the ones you bought made by Lion, or Ribon?

Thanks

The one from the Harvest TNT is called Ribon Soda Candy.
