Sakuma Drops Ice Bar: A Delicious Blast from the Past
FamilyMart, one of Japan's leading convenience store chains, is excited to announce an innovative collaboration with Sakuma Seika, the maker of the beloved long-selling candy, Sakuma Drops. Beginning September 30, 2025, customers across Japan will be able to enjoy the delightful Sakuma Drops Ice Bar, priced at 184 yen (198 yen including tax). This special product marks FamilyMart's first collaboration with the iconic candy brand, which has been winning hearts since its inception in 1908.
A Sweet Taste of Nostalgia
For over 117 years, Sakuma Drops has remained a staple in the candy market, cherished by generations for its unique texture and flavors. This new ice bar brings the nostalgic essence of Sakuma Drops to the frozen treat aisle, cleverly combining old-school charm with modern convenience. The ice bar features a mix-fruit flavor that is reminiscent of classic Japanese dagashi (traditional sweets), making it an instant hit among those who appreciate the taste of their childhood.
The ice bar is specially crafted with a blend of seven varieties of Sakuma Drops embedded into a white chocolate coating. This not only enhances the flavor profile but also adds a fun textural element, as the crushed candies provide a crunchy contrast to the creamy ice cream. The eye-catching colors of both the candy and the ice bar make it a treat that's as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate.
