Pick up a slice and take a sip of water, that taste is simply the best companion for staying up late to watch dramas!
2. Licorice apricot
Licorice apricot, the name sounds like a relative of cough syrup, but its taste is sweet and sour, with a hint of sweetness in the sourness, which is completely different from the bitterness of licorice tablets.

Coming once in a while is not only a taste pleasure, but also a warm time travel.
