This is the Nippon Yell Gummy Okayama Muscat Of Alexandria, made with fruit juice from Muscat of Alexandria grapes grown in Okayama Prefecture. Originally native to Egypt, Muscat of Alexandria is prized for its refined aroma—often likened to a delicate perfume—and refreshing sweetness. Okayama accounts for approximately 90% of domestic production, making it the leading producer of this varietal in Japan.

Each gummy measured approximately 2 cm in diameter and 1 cm in height, with an opaque yellow-green hue and a muscat aroma that was both fruity and floral. Unlike some other variants in the series, these gummies did not contain a soft core. Instead, they offered a consistent firm and bouncy chew throughout.

Flavour development began with a gentle sweetness and mellow grape character, followed by a gradual emergence of acidity and depth. The profile evolved across the chew into an elegant and concentrated expression of muscat, accented by floral notes and a perfume-like lift. The interplay of fruity sweetness, floral aroma, and slight tartness evoked a likeness to tropical fruits such as lychee, without veering into artificiality.

Overall, a refined and expressive gummy that captured the characteristic elegance of Okayama-grown Muscat of Alexandria, both in flavour and aroma. Well worth seeking out.

This Nippon Yell Gummy Okayama Muscat Of Alexandria contained 40 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Tōkyō, Japan in 2024.
