Sanka Seika Mochicure Mikan

This is the Sanka Seika Mochicure Mikan, a rice flour-based gummy positioned as a mochi-like sweet. It used mikan juice and also claimed to contain iron, Vitamin B1, and citric acid.

Each gummy varied in form, generally rounded square to rectangular, measuring 1.5–2 cm in length and about 1 cm in thickness. They had an opaque orange colour and a bright, sweet mikan aroma.

The surface was smooth and soft, yielding instantly with no resistance or stretch. The mikan flavour appeared immediately, beginning with a gentle tang that deepened into a rich, zesty juiciness. Unlike the grape version, the rice flour flavour remained subdued here, as the strength of the mikan carried through consistently. The texture still broke down into a paste-like consistency rather than melting, but the bold citrus flavour masked the heaviness enough to make the overall experience more palatable.

Overall, it succeeded better than the grape version thanks to the strong, lasting mikan flavour, though the dense texture remained a limitation.

This Sanka Seika Mochicure Mikan contained 44 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2025.
