Cmon, Shiroi Koibito's sugar content is pretty tame compared to for example most American cereal. At least the people at Ishiya admit and advertise their products as sweet compared to the cereal companies.

I have to say that some congratulations goes to this company for continuing to develop goods and services during the pandemic. Finding ways to keep employees employed, waving Hokkaido's flag during the worst of times, and, oh yeah, creating delicious treats.
