Morinaga Hi-Soft vs. Salted vs. Yogurt Caramel Flavors
Morinaga Seika (森永製菓) is a Japanese confectionery company founded in 1899 whose logo is an angel symbol called Angel Mark.
In Japan, the maker has many long-selling products, and their best-known products include Hi-Chew and caramel candy.
Morinaga Caramel Candy Flavors
This time, I picked up these four flavors of Morinaga Caramel Candy because I wanted to compare them.
They are regular Milk Caramel, Hi-Soft, Shio (塩: Salt)/Salted Caramel, and Yogurt Caramel, and here, let’s check each.

First, Morinaga Milk Caramel is a signature product of Morinaga and one of Japan’s most loved soft candies.
It has been on sale since the company’s foundation in 1899. The caramel cube is packed with flavor and tastes just great.
