This is the Kasugai Tsubu Gumi Premium Rich Grape.

Each bag featured the distinct grape flavours of three varieties: Muscat of Alexandria, Kyohō, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The flavours were evenly spread in the bag (18:18:20).

The back of the packaging indicated the balance of richness, sweetness, and acidity in each variety.

The Muscat of Alexandria jellybean featured a soft green candy shell enveloping a translucent green gummy centre. Its exterior carried a vibrant, lightly floral sweetness reminiscent of muscat grapes. Biting into it revealed a bouncy gummy centre that released a refreshing, crisp melon flavour with a well-balanced touch of acidity.

The Kyohō featured a purple candy shell encasing a translucent purple gummy centre. The shell offered a satisfying richness in sweetness, accompanied by minimal acidity. The chewy gummy centre delivered the signature sweet-sour taste of the grape, perfectly balanced with bright acidity.

The Cabernet Sauvignon featured a burgundy candy shell covering a translucent burgundy gummy centre. The outer layer brought forth a refreshing sweetness reminiscent of dark fruits like blackcurrant and blackberry. Biting into the gummy centre unleashed a balancing acidity, and the cabernet flavour deepened with enjoyable hints of woody, tobacco-like notes.

These jellybeans stand out due to their delectable flavours, setting them apart from regular jellybeans by having both the shell and centre equally flavourful. The distinctive fruitiness of Muscat of Alexandria and the rich complexity of Cabernet Sauvignon make them particularly appealing. While the Kyohō variety is equally enjoyable, the slight preference for the other two varieties speaks more to the overall high quality of these jellybeans.
