This is the Nippon Yell Gummy Miyazaki Hyūganatsu, made with juice from Hyūganatsu citrus grown in Miyazaki Prefecture. A local variety originating in the region, Hyūganatsu is known for its fresh aroma and a balanced sweet-sour profile developed under abundant sunlight.
Each gummy measured approximately 2 cm in diameter and 1 cm in height, with an opaque yellow hue and a bright, zesty citrus aroma. The surface layer featured sour crystals that delivered an initial tang and slight crunch, followed by a firm, elastic outer shell that gave way to a soft, jelly-like core. The citrus flavour presented immediately—clean and invigorating—with the outer gummy expressing a light, brisk acidity. As chewing progressed, the jelly centre released a gentle sweetness that complemented the sharpness, adding aromatic nuance evocative of citrus zest, yet without bitterness or astringency. When eaten whole, the experience closely mirrored the composition of the fruit itself—mildly sweet pith and gently tart flesh—offering a faithful, refreshing impression of fresh Hyūganatsu.
A clean, fragrant citrus profile that evokes the brightness of the whole fruit—worth repurchasing.
This Nippon Yell Gummy Miyazaki Hyūganatsu contained 40 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2024.
