This is the Nippon Yell Dried Fruit Ehime Blood Orange, featuring semi-dried blood oranges grown in Ehime Prefecture.

There were three slices in each bag, with the larger rings measuring 5 cm in diameter and 4 mm in thickness, accompanied by smaller cut-offs of varying sizes. They had an orange-brown hue and a deeply sweet citrus aroma.

On tasting, the surface was lightly sticky and firm. The flavour of the blood orange emerged immediately, most concentrated in the dried flesh, where it carried a sweet, orange-raspberry-like character distinctive of blood orange. The soft fibres of the flesh contrasted with the rind, which was firmer and provided a crunch, releasing fragrant zestiness and a subtle bitterness in the finish from the citrus oils, along with a faint numbing sensation on the tongue.

Overall, this snack captured the essence of fresh blood orange with concentrated flavour and a pleasing balance of sweetness, zest, and bitterness, making it a worthwhile and convenient option for repurchasing.
