There is instruction on the back of the bag. I'll introduce it, though I don't know the sentences are right or not. (Because the instruction is also written in Japanese, but some sentences are wrong.)
"These eggs are a delicacy in Taiwan. They are marinaded and simmered in a rice broth loaded with spices, then place in an oven to bake and lock in their flavor. The delicious snacks are hermetically sealed in a vacuum package to ensure their freshness."
And the picture on the right is licorice bars one of my students bought for us as a souvenir. Can you guess why I put these pictures together. Because the taste of the outside of the eggs, and licorice bars are the same.

That was interesting! I remember you do not like liquorice but I love the taste. The best is from Australia, called Kookaburra. The one you showed is a poor imitation of the "real" thing...like some of the soy sauce you saw in our American grocery store! The "annis" taste of liqorice (and probably the "eggs") is from a root found in the woods and is also used in a popular Italian liquor. Jan
Thanks for your comments Jan. I read it while laughing. Yes she (one of my students, you know her) bought it at a supermarket.
