MenuThe Geek Loungegerald garcia's web blog.Jintan Nude Breath and Belly MintTo say that this is a “typical novelty” of Japan may seem like an oxymoron, but that’s what it really is. This exotic mint is has two active ingredients: a strong mint and an herb extract oil, that freshens the mouth and belly respectively. Typical mints only work on your mouth, but Jintan Nude is more advanced. Even the capsules is a tech marvel in food manufacturing. Each capsule has four layers resembling the Earth’s insides: the herb oilcore is enclosed in a gelatin shell which is within a strong mint mantle, finally covered by another gelatin crust.Jintan Nude - Mints Made in Japan!Consuming a capsule is an experience in itself. You are supposed to just let it melt in your mouth. The outer shell melts quickly, letting the really strong mint explode in your mouth. The inner shell takes a bit longer to pop, and I assume that this is an intentional, well researched delay. As soon as the mint begins to fade, the inner shell pops and gives out a different flavor (and function, which is to attack belly odors).Back of packaging shows instructions and capsule "anatomy."This candy is said to be very rare, and I was only able to source one in Siam Paragon Bangkok’s supermarket at roughly 65 Baht (or approx US$2) a pack. It’s elusiveness adds to its novelty. Getting this out of your pocket is an instant source of curious conversation and will definitely impress your other geek friends.Close up of the cute dispenser.As to its effectiveness, it can say that the strong mint really freshens the mouth. I couldn’t tell if the herb extract oil really does neutralize belly odors, but its taste is indeed pleasant. I would recommend fellow geeks to get a pack (or a few) if ever they visit Bangkok. Much credit goes to my office colleague Arnold for this tip!Share this:ShareGoogle+ Gerald GarciaRelatedReview: J.Springs Retro FutureIn "Geek Stuff"Goodbye, Range RoverIn "Cars"Remembering "Be An Interplanetary Spy"In "Lifestyle"September 12, 20108 Replies« PreviousNext »Leave a ReplyYour email address will not be published.

I know this is an old post, but I have just come back from my holiday in Pattaya, and I wanted to tell you the good news! These are not quite as rare as some people think – I’ve found them in multiple stores around town, but waaay more importantly, did you know there’s another flavour? Granted, some people like the mint mint better, but I woud have wanted to try just out of curiousity:) It’s raspberry, if you were curious.. And the packaging is exactly the same, only pink:) Also, hope you’re proud – brought back home at least 6-7 packs:)

Hi Dasha, took me forever to reply to your comment :D but I’m glad you found and got your stash of these mints! Thanks for your report! I had to Google Pattaya to find out it’s also in Thailand. Seems like the distributor of these mints is doing a good job there. Unfortunately for me, I haven’t found these mints since. :D
