This is the Fujiya x Akagi Gatsun to Mikan Gumi, inspired by the popular Japanese popsicle of the same name, known for its high fruit content and refreshing citrus flavour, particularly in the mikan (mandarin orange) variety. It contained concentrated unshū mikan juice.
Each gummy was shaped like a miniature popsicle on a stick, measuring approximately 2 × 1.5 × 1 cm, with one larger mikan-shaped piece included. This oversized gummy mirrored the size and surface vesicle patterns of a real mikan segment. The gummies were a pale orange, with a sweet, aromatic mikan scent.
On tasting, the surface had a slight dry “crust” that offered a soft initial crunch before yielding to the firm jelly interior. The gummy had modest elasticity, providing a gentle chew rather than a bouncy texture. The combination of the outer layer and the centre created a refreshing mouthfeel reminiscent of a shaved-ice popsicle. The mikan flavour appeared immediately, starting with a bright, sweet citrus note before developing a light, fresh acidity mid-bite. The flavour intensified through the chew, delivering the same richness and vibrancy as the original popsicle, capturing the juicy essence of mikan in gummy form.
Overall, a playful and refreshing treat that successfully translates the taste and texture of a high-fruit-content mikan popsicle into a gummy format.
