Hi-Chew is a popular Japanese candy brand known for its unique chewy texture and intense fruit flavors. But do you know just how many flavors of this delectable Japanese candy are available in Japan? In this article, we’ll cover every Hi-Chew flavor (all 204) that have ever been available in Japan!
What Is Hi-Chew?
Before diving into all of the Japanese Hi-Chew flavors, let’s briefly discuss what Hi-Chew is. Hi-Chew, owned by Morinaga, was created as a sweet for adults and made its debut in 1975. It originally came in a box and had a three-layer structure with a white, sweet chewy layer on the top and bottom and a fruity layer sandwiched between. It intended to provide consumers with a soft, chewy candy snack with a fruity punch.
Hi-Chew candies are made from fruit juices and purees, giving them their authentic fruity taste. They come in a variety of flavors (which we will discuss in the next sections of this article!) and have gained popularity not only in Japan but also internationally, becoming a beloved treat for people of all ages.
Classic Hi-Chew Flavors
These flavors of Hi-Chew can be found throughout Japan in supermarkets, convenience stores, and so on. (Of course, many of these flavors can also be found at Japanese Taste as well!)
1. Strawberry
This is the flavor that started it all. Released in 1975, the original Strawberry Hi-Chew flavor had a refreshing sweet and sour flavor reminiscent of real strawberries.
2. Orange
The Orange Hi-Chew, which made its debut in 1979 perfectly captured the acidity of oranges without being overly sour. Of course, it had a mellow sweetness as well.
3. Grapefruit
Once this grapefruit flavor was released, the packaging and shape of Hi-Chew changed. While the packaging has been updated multiple times, the shape of Hi-Chew has stayed how we know it today, coming in 7 individual pieces. The Grapefruit Hi-Chew is packed with real grapefruit juice and also captures the natural bitterness of the fruit quite well.
4. Green Apple
The green apple flavor is slightly sour, perfectly capturing the unique sour flavor of green apples, and is slightly sweet.
5. Peach
Peach lovers definitely should not miss out on Peach Hi-Chew. The Peach High-Chew is bursting with a mellow, peachy flavor due to the addition of real peach juice.
6. Grape
Maybe the Grape High-Chew is one of the most iconic flavors of Hi-Chew that comes to mind. It doesn’t have an artificial grape flavor like some other grape candies do, and the flavor matches really well with the chewy texture of Hi-Chew candy.
7. Mango
While this flavor is popular in North America, it’s of course a classic Japanese flavor as well. The juicy, sweet, and vibrant flavor of mangoes pair perfectly with Hi-Chew’s chewy texture.
8. Plain (Sono Mama)
Hi-Chew in its original, most plain flavor. Need we say more?
9. Hi-Chew Assort
In 1996, Hi-Chew finally released an assorted variety of the popular candy. Since then, they’ve released many varieties of assort packs (which you will learn about in a later section of this article). These days, you can find Hi-Chew in assortment varieties of 3 flavors so that everyone can enjoy their favorite flavor of Hi-Chew. The current assortment comes with grape, strawberry, and green apple flavors.
10. Puni-Shari

Shine Muscat grapes are much sweeter and mellower in flavor than regular grapes, so Hi-Chew aimed to capture this flavor with this Premium Shine Muscat Hi-Chew.
13. Yogurt

The Muni Muni Gu Hi-Chew come in the same flavors as the Puni Shari Assort (ramune soda and melon soda) but they have a gummy-like texture instead.
Hi-Chew Mini
The Hi-Chew Mini are perfect for people who want to want to enjoy Hi-Chew in bite-size format and/or want to take Hi-Chew candies on the go. Currently, Hi-Chew offers this series in two different assortments.
183. Hi-Chew Mini
The Hi-Chew Mini comes in an assortment of four flavors including grape, strawberry, melon, and soda.
184. Hi-Chew Mini (Soda)
This is the Soda version of the Hi-Chew Mini. It comes with soda, melon soda, cola, and grape soda flavors.
Souvenir Hi-Chew Flavors
Similar to Kit Kats or Pocky, Hi-Chew also comes in regional flavors. Souvenir Hi-Chew are special editions or limited-edition flavors of Hi-Chew candies exclusive to specific regions of Japan. They make great souvenirs (as their name intends) or even collector items.
185. Yubari Melon (Hokkaido)
Yubari melon is a melon exclusive to Hokkaido and has a fresh, fruity, yet somewhat floral flavor. If you find yourself in Hokkaido, it’s definitely worth giving this Hi-Chew flavor a go!
186. Tohoku Apple
The Tohoku region, or specifically Aomori prefecture is known for apples. Aomori apples are said to be the best in Japan, so why not turn the flavor into a Hi-Chew?
187. Shinshu Apple
Another region in Japan that’s famous for apple production is Shinshu (Nagano prefecture). You can try the Tohoku and Shinshu Apple Souvenir Hi-Chew and let us know if they have different flavors in the comments!
188. Yamanashi Peach & Crown Melon (Mt. Fuji)
This flavor is local around the Yamanashi area of Japan (where Mt. Fuji is) and uses real Yamanashi peach and crown melon juice.These Hi-Chew have a juicy, sweet flavor due to the addition of Yamanashi peaches and Shizuoka Crown melons.
189. Setouchi Lemon (Chugoku & Shikoku)
Setouchi Lemon is a local and popular lemon in the Setouchi area of Japan (around Chugoku and Shikoku). If you find yourself visiting either of these regions in Japan, give this flavor a go!
190. Amaou Strawberry (f*ckuoka & Kyushu)
This flavor can be found in Kyushu (Japan’s southernmost main island), particularly in f*ckuoka. The Amaou Strawberry is thought to be the most luxurious strawberry in Japan and is known for its intense sweetness and vibrant red color.
191. Okinawa Pineapple
Okinawa is famous for many tropical fruits including pineapple. Experience the unique flavor of Okinawa Pineapple with this Okinawa-only Hi-Chew
192. Okinawa Shikuwasa
Another uniquely Okinawa fruit is Shikuwasa which is a kind of citrus fruit. It’s a small and delicious citrus fruit that’s sweet and sour at the same time.
193. Okinawa Mango
Of course, Hi-Chew did not want to leave mango lovers out of the equation, so they released this Okinawa Mango flavor as well.
194. Hawaii Pineapple
While not technically a limited-to-Japan Hi Chew flavor, it is still interesting to know that the company created two Hawaii-only exclusive flavors.
195. Hawaii Lilikoi
This is another limited-to-Hawaii flavor that features Lilikoi, or Hawaiian passionfruit! As you can probably tell by now, Hi-Chew really loves experimenting and creating flavors using fruits from all around the world.
Other Hi-Chew Flavors
This category of Hi-Chew is for recently released flavors of Hi-Chew that are still available (at the time of writing this article). However, it is not yet sure if they will stay available for sure or become discontinued.
196. Ramune Hi-Chew
The Ramune Hi-Chew is one of the flavors that appears in the Puni Shari series. This ramune soda-flavored candy is filled with ramune soda tablets for double soda fizz and flavor.
197. Rich Grape
The Rich Grape Hi-Chew is supposed to have five times as much grape flavor as the original grape flavor.
198. Rich Strawberry
Similar to the Rich Grape Hi-Chew flavor, the Rich Strawberry Hi-Chew is packed with so much strawberry flavor. About five times more than the original strawberry flavor!
199. Kawaru? Aji (Changing Flavor?)
We previously saw Hi-Chew launch this flavor, but this time the flavor changes from peach to pineapple.
200. Shiny Shine Muscat
The Shiny Shine Muscat is said to have a concentrated shine muscat flavor that allows you to experience the flavor of fresh Shine Muscat grapes.
201. Happy Chew
This Hi-Chew is said to have a happy texture that makes you feel excited the more you chew on it. Whatever that means? It is also white peach flavored.
202. Watermelon
What matches summer better than watermelon? This flavor is quite refreshing and juicy just like real watermelon.
203. Japanese Pear
The Japanese Pear Hi-Chew has the same texture and juiciness as an actual Japanese pear (wa-nashi).
So there you have it, a complete list of all 203 Hi-Chew flavors Japan has ever had to offer. How many flavors on this list have you tried? Which flavor(s) do you want to try first? Let us know in the comments.
