This is the Kanro Puré Gumi Pink Grapefruit Soda. It uses grapefruit juice to achieve the fruit’s flavour.

The gummies were about 3 x 2.5 x 0.5 cm in size and heart-shaped with yellow and orange halves that had a sweet citrusy grapefruit fragrance. Upon tasting, the sour crystals brought an initial salivating acidity before dissolving and revealing bright grapefruit notes in the body that began with a moderate sweetness – tasting much like sweetened grapefruit juice — before developing with a balancing acidity that recalled the tart, gentle sharpness of the fresh fruit. The grapefruit oils lingered in the aftertaste, leaving a characteristic zing and recalling the fizzy sensation of soda. As with all gummies in the Kanro Pure range, the flavour of the fruit was captured impeccably and the texture was soft and chewy without sticking to one’s teeth.

This Kanro Puré Gumi Pink Grapefruit Soda contained 56 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2022.
