This is the UHA Mikakutō Cororo Nijisseiki Nashi. It used purée from nijisseiki nashi, an Asian pear grown in Tottori Prefecture that is known for its crisp, white flesh yellowish-brown skin and refreshing flavour.
These gummies, resembling small sausages with a golden yellow hue, emitted a mellowed honeyed aroma. Measuring about 1.5 cm in length and 1 cm in diameter, they had a texture akin to grapes. The outer membrane yielded crisply, while the interior had a firm jelly-like softness. Biting into them revealed distinct nashi notes, accompanied by a subtle granular texture typical of nashi. This texture offered a gentle crunch throughout the experience. Each subsequent chew released an increasingly juicy mellow sweetness of the nashi, reaching an aromatic peak in the finish, with minimal acidity.
Overall, these gummies captured the sweetness of nashi, with the granular texture emphasising its flavour as an Asian pear as distinct from a European pear.
This UHA Mikakutō Cororo Nijisseiki Nashi contained 40 g or 10 pieces. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2024.
