Found a Japanese sweet behind the 'drivers knee' storage bin

[Gamith]

I was taking some pics of the driver side fuse board and something rustled behind the hinge of the storage bin, which I had taken out for ease of access - on investigation I found what I assume is a Japanese jelly sweet of some sort.

 

So sometime between build (2005) and import (2018) someone lost a sweet and it's eventually been found. What is a little surprising is that it in all it's journeys it hadn't fallen out, as there wasn't a lot to hold it in place.

 

I have no intention of opening it up of course but it would be interesting if someone recognised the sweet (I think I have it up the correct way).

So far we have 'It's a little matcha candy' and 'the small characters to the left say 'Uses natural salt from Inner Mongolia' and the small text to the right say 'Hand kneading' which is probably hand made. The top middle character translates to 'Shiohara' which seems to mean 'Salt'. The lower character might be 84%? So a salty jelly chew maybe?' it seems they like salty sweets.
