This is the UHA Mikakutō (CN) Cororo Yoghurt. Each bag contained 13 gummies that were shaped like small sausages with a golden yellow hue, measuring approximately 2 cm in length and 1.5 cm in diameter and emitting sweetened yoghurt aroma akin to Yakult or Calpis.
Upon tasting, the palate first encountered a thin layer of sweet yogurt flavour coating the membrane, followed by the crisp yielding of the membrane to reveal a firm, jelly-like interior. The texture resembled a gelatin-set jelly, with a slight bounce but a more pronounced agar-like ‘crunch’ compared to typical Japanese gummies. A few chews provided a vibrant sweet yogurt flavour, with a noticeable hint of dairy in the body, followed by a dominating sweetness with minimal acidity. The sweet dairy flavour became overwhelming and persisted long in the aftertaste, making it difficult to consume more than a few pieces.
Overall, we prefer the fresher fruit flavours of this series, even though these China-produced versions have similar textures to the ones produced in Japan.
