Ruby Roman grapes from Ishikawa Prefecture hold the distinction of being among the largest red grape varieties in Japan, boasting dimensions approximately twice that of Kyohō grapes. The sale of Ruby Roman grapes adheres to stringent criteria: each individual grape must weigh over 20g and possess a sugar content exceeding 18%. Renowned for their remarkable sweetness, abundant juiciness, and effortless peeling and consumption, Ruby Roman grapes have gained widespread acclaim.
This is the Nippon Yell Gummy Ishikawa Ruby Roman, which uses juice from the fruit.
Every gummy displayed an opaque purple-pink hue, measuring around 3 cm in diameter and 1 cm in height, accompanied by a fragrant and sweet grape bouquet. Upon tasting, the firm exterior yielded a chewy, springy resistance, relinquishing a gentle, sweet grape flavour. Progressing to the soft jelly centre, the palate was graced by the refreshing sweetness and refined aroma of the Ruby Roman grapes. When enjoyed in unison, the jelly centre’s pronounced flavour encompassed the entire gummy experience, with the exterior contributing predominantly to the resilient texture, albeit in a subtly grape-flavoured manner. These delectable gummies masterfully encapsulated the uniquely sweet and juicy attributes characteristic of Ruby Roman grapes.
This Nippon Yell Gummy Ishikawa Ruby Roman contained 40 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2023.
