This is the Meiji Kajū Gumi Grape. Each bag contained held its weight in fresh fruit juice, specifically, 51 g of fresh grape juice concentrated 6.1 times to yield 8.4 g of concentrated grape juice. This concentration equated to 100% of the product’s weight. It was rated 2 out of 5 on Meiji’s softness-to-hardness scale.
The gummies, measuring around 2 x 1.5 x 1 cm, were designed in the shape of a cluster of grapes. Their hue was a rich deep purple, accompanied by a vibrant and sweet grape aroma. Upon tasting, the gummies offered a pleasantly bouncy and soft texture, striking a harmonious balance with the resistance encountered by the teeth. The grape flavour was immediate and vivid, characterized by its inherent sweetness that gradually unfolded into a rich complexity, driven by a well-calibrated acidity that emerged in subsequent bites. The overall taste resonated with the authenticity of natural grape juice, often obtained from concentrated sources. The combination of taste and texture rendered these delightful gummies a commendable choice worthy of repurchase.
This Meiji Kajū Gumi Grape contained 51 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2023.
