This is the Kanro Puré Gumi Premium Sparkling Tochigi Tochiotome Strawberry. It used the juice of tochiotome strawberries from Tochigi Prefecture.

Each piece was a heart shape, measuring approximately 3 x 2.5 x 0.5 cm. The exterior had a pale pink hue that transitioned to a vivid red centre, exuding a vibrant and enticing fragrance reminiscent of freshly picked strawberries. Upon tasting, the sour crystals on the surface of the firm gummy shell delivered a burst of initial acidity that gracefully evolved into a crisp sweetness, accompanied by a gentle lemonade-like acidity that harmoniously complemented the understated strawberry flavour. By mid-bite, the strawberry flavour deepened and flourished upon reaching the soft pureed centre, imparting a luxurious jam-like richness. These gummies deftly captured the harmonious interplay between the sweetness and sourness characteristically found in tochiotome strawberries, with an added element of zesty lemon to accentuate the soda-like quality. The impeccable fusion of flavour and texture made these gummies an alluring choice, deserving of repurchase.
