This MannanLife Konnyaku Batake Apple is one of three flavours we picked up in Japan in 2018 and follows up on the grape.
The jellies are individually sealed heart-shaped plastic cups and also have numerous notes advise customers that the jelly is a potential choking hazard for small children or the elderly.
The jelly is a translucent pale straw colour with a sweet apple nose that recalled juice from red apples.
A gentle sweetness came through ahead of the crisp flavour of fresh apple juice from Japan, which is clear and recalled cold press juice rather than the brown coloured juice from concentrate in Australia. A hint of acidity builds in the body to balance the sweetness before the crisp apple notes return for a refreshing finish. As with the grape flavour, the texture of the jelly is impeccable with ample bounce on the teeth, giving a jelly that has a good bite and avoids melting on contact.
This Mannan Life Konjac Jelly Apple contained 300 g or 12 pieces of 25 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Ōsaka, Japan in 2018.
