This is the Okiko Uchina Gumi Guminchu Okinawa Shiikuwāsā. It used the juice of shiikwaasa, a citrus fruit native to Okinawa in Japan.

These gummies were a translucent green shade, measuring approximately 1.5 x 1.5 x 1 cm. They exuded a pronounced, sour, and zestful aroma akin to lime. When sampled, these gummies displayed a soft, yet remarkably resilient elasticity that provided a delightful resistance to the teeth. Just a few chews were adequate to unlock the bold shiikwaasa flavour, which unfurled with refreshing citrus notes, delivering a bright zestiness accompanied by vibrant sourness and a subtle hint of bitterness in the finish. Each chew intensified the juicy flavour. Notably, the shiikwaasa flavour did not linger in the aftertaste but intensity of the flavour was evident in the slight tingling sensation on the tongue, induced by the fruit’s oils after consuming a few of these gummies. In sum, these gummies were a delectable treat, marked by an impeccable texture and flavour that paid exquisite homage to this Okinawan fruit.

This Okiko Uchina Gumi Guminchu Okinawa Shiikuwāsā contained 40 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Tōkyō, Japan in 2023.
