This gum is a favorite of mine. The intense rush of herbal extracts and caffiene makes one wake up fast. I recommend this to anyone who fancies a good shock to the tastebuds.

The first time I chewed a piece, the flavor was so harsh that I had to spit it out. It's caffeinated, so it's a less time-consuming alternative to coffee. It has a strong minty flavor. Also, I didn't buy this from amazon but from a local Japanese store instead, since it's $1.39 as oppose to amazon's $7.14.

My favorite Japanese chewing gum
It's powerful stuff...
but I'm always surprised
when someone spits it out

Delicious and effective stimulant although a bit too expensive to develop a serious habit. The best of the LOTTE gums in my opinion.

I tried this gum when I was in Okinawa and I instantly fell in love with it. Of course, I am a mintaholic(self proclaimed). The flavor is very intense, so only those who really like a minty taste would like this.

I quite liked it, the flavor is a bit harsh at first but then it becomes more mellow. It is most certainly caffeinated which is good. It is too expensive to buy more than once though. All in all I liked it.

Don't know if I spelled that right or if it's even a word. We ordered this to fill up our $25 minimum to get free shipping and it is great. My husband thinks licorice is ambrosia so it was a great fine and we'd order it again.

save your 5 bucks there is only like 10 pieces of gum and to be honest...there is really nothing special about this gum. You can get the same flavored gum in a store for 1$ It tastes EXACTLY like how Altoids would taste if they were in gum form. Its just a minty gum. There's nothing special about it. Sometimes you get a really strong stick that you cant breath and have to spit it out and sometimes you get a lame piece that tastes like minty chalk. I wouldn't recommend it.

They sent me a completely different type of gum and did not respond at all when i tried to contact them.

If you wonder why you crave this gum fortnightly, it is because it contains Nicotine. When I was living in Japan I chewed it regularly and always looked forward to buying the next pack. Then I was told by a friend it contained Nicotine. Look on the back and lo and behold, you see the characters Ni Ko Chi N. (Nicotine).

Good stuff!
