description: chewy, creamy, lemon cheesecake-flavored candy

this may be the first Hi-Chew that i don't really care for. opening the wrapper, one is immediately presented with a very strong cheese smell which eventually gives way to a hint of lemon. upon popping this little bugger in my mouth i was so overwhelmed by the cheesiness of it i nearly fainted. seriously, this is a cheesy chew. while i'm not familiar with the specifics of cheesecake in japan, if i were to base it off of this candy i could only assume that they use a cheddar/swiss amalgam in their version. there's also a slight hint of cottage cheese and sour milk. not really to my liking with the lemon, but i would be interested to try the strawberry cheesecake variation. maybe the berry will do more for the cheese than the citrus did (kind of made it stinky).
