This is the Cleat Fruit Jelly Kirarikorori Shine Muscat, made using fruit extract from the juice residue of domestically produced Shine Muscat grapes in Japan.
Each gummy was dome-shaped, measuring 2 cm in diameter at the base and 1.2 cm in height, with a green hue and a mellow Shine Muscat aroma. The sugar crystals on the surface provided an initial rough texture before yielding to a soft jelly centre. The jelly had a clean, firm bite, similar to a thick agar-set jelly, rather than the bouncy resistance of a gelatin-based gummy. Upon biting through, the gummy released a rich Shine Muscat flavour, beginning with a mellow sweetness before developing into the grape’s signature tropical mango-like notes. These intensified on the palate as the soft jelly melted, creating a juicy Shine Muscat flavour. The sugar crystals added a contrasting crunch, lingering briefly in the aftertaste.
Overall, these gummies were enjoyable for their bold Shine Muscat flavour, with the jelly-like texture offering an unexpected but pleasant departure from the chewy resistance typical of mainstream Japanese gummies.
