This is the Tarami Kudomonoyasan Golden Kiwi Jelly, made using kiwifruit and apple juice.

The jelly had an opaque yellow-green hue and a sweet, tangy kiwifruit aroma.

On tasting, the texture closely resembled that of a ripe kiwifruit — a slight pulp-like consistency, not fibrous but distinctly true to the fruit. The golden kiwifruit flavour was immediate, with sweetness at the front of each bite before the jelly melted on the palate, releasing a fragrant and gently tangy character. The apple juice blended in was not especially noticeable, likely serving only to heighten sweetness. Overall, it was a vibrant and convincing golden kiwifruit jelly that contrasted favourably with the more lacklustre Tarami releases of recent years, and one that warranted repurchase.

Overall, this was one of the stronger recent offerings from Tarami, delivering an authentic golden kiwifruit profile with both flavour and texture that elevated it above the brand’s more diluted products.

This Tarami Kudomonoyasan Golden Kiwi Jelly contained 160 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2025.
