Yes! That would actually be a very good way to describe it. But it's not so sour that it makes you make the fish face ahaha it's a delicious sour. Kind of like Sour Patch Kids or sour skittles. You have to try it! If you happen to visit Korea in the winter time let me know, I will buy you some for you to try. They're available during the winter season so you'd have to come during winter.
