(Headquarters: Ikuno-ku, Osaka City; President and CEO: Toshiaki Baba; hereinafter Nobel Confectionery) will sequentially launch sales of its "Otoko Ume Candy" in a package emphasizing salt replenishment starting Monday, April 20, 2026. ## Features of "Otoko Ume Candy" Since its launch in 2007, "Otoko Ume Candy" has pursued the authentic deliciousness of pickled plums by strictly balancing salty, sour, savory, and sweet flavors. In particular, its rich pickled plum taste using the "secret Otoko Ume powder" has made it a long-selling product from Nobel Confectionery loved by many customers. The "Otoko Ume Series" has expanded its lineup beyond candy to include gummies, sheets, and soft candies, gaining popularity across a wide range of generations. ## Development Background of "Otoko Ume Candy" With the rising temperatures in recent years, the demand for "Otoko Ume Candy" has grown during the summer as a product that provides salt replenishment for heatstroke prevention. Therefore, we have recently renewed the packaging exclusively for the spring and summer season with a design that makes it recognizable at a glance as a "salt replenishment" item. While keeping the unique "handcrafted ume flavor" of Otoko Ume intact, we aimed for a design that further conveys the richness of the pickled plum taste of "Otoko Ume Candy." ## Product Overview of "Otoko Ume Candy" Product Name: "Otoko Ume Candy" Release Date: Sequentially released from Monday, April 20, 2026 Sales Area: Nationwide Net Weight: 80g Reference Price: Open Price Product Features: A candy that pursues the deliciousness of pickled plums with an exquisite balance of salty, sour, savory, and sweet flavors. ## About the Giveaway Campaign To commemorate the launch of "Otoko Ume Candy," we will hold a limited-time giveaway campaign where 10 lucky winners will receive the new product through a lottery. - How to apply: Follow Nobel Confectionery's official X (formerly Twitter) @nobel_seika and repost. - Application period: Monday, April 20, 2026 - Sunday, April 26, 2026 at 23:59 - Winner announcement: Winners will be notified via DM from the official account. https://...
