Amaou strawberries from Fukuoka Prefecture are celebrated for their remarkably large size, as well as their pronounced sweetness and aromatic richness.

This Nippon Yell Gummy Fukuoka Amaou Strawberry uses the purée from amaou strawberries grown in Fukuoka Prefecture.

Each gummy was an opaque pink-red hue, covered with a delicate coating of sugar crystals, and measured approximately 2 cm in diameter by 1 cm in height. Its scent was a lively blend of sweet-tart freshness reminiscent of ripe strawberries. Upon tasting, the outer texture of the gummy was slightly softer compared to other flavours within this collection that lacked the sugar dusting. The sugar crystals introduced a gentle crunch and an initial wave of sweetness, which then evolved into the succulent, juicy sweetness of freshly picked strawberries in the gummy’s outer layer. As we kept chewing, the softer jelly core unveiled a vibrant acidity, imparting an almost salivating tartness that mirrored the flavour of freshly pureed strawberries. The absence of artificiality was striking. The profound sweetness and exquisite aroma of amaou strawberries filled the palate, making these gummies immensely pleasurable and deserving of repurchase.

This Nippon Yell Gummy Fukuoka Amaou Strawberry contained 40 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2023.
