This is the Sunyodo La France Pear Jelly, which contained LaFrance pears from Yamagata Prefecture. The pieces of pear were about 2 cm thick and varied from 4-7 cm in length.
Upon opening the package, the sweet pear aroma was evident, and this appealing scent translated into a juicy sweetness when tasted. The small pear pieces had a smooth texture that offered a nice bite, balancing crispness and tenderness. The pear flavour stood out in these pieces, while the surrounding jelly had a milder pear flavour. Made with a bit of agar, the jelly felt smooth like konjac-set jellies, without the crumbly texture of agar-set jellies. Overall, this jelly captured the refreshing sweetness and smooth consistency of LaFrance pears, presented elegantly for a memorable experience.
This Sunyodo La France Pear Jelly contained 400 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2023.
