This is the Kaneka Foods x JA Aichi Atsumi Melon Gumi. It used juice from atsumi muskmelon grown in Aichi Prefecture and contained 2.4 billion CFUs of labre lactic acid bacteria.

Each gummy was an opaque green-yellow hue, measuring approximately 2 cm in diameter and 1 cm in height, and had a sweet, juicy melon aroma. On tasting, the outer gummy offered a firm, bouncy resistance and a mellow melon flavour. Subsequent chews released a subtle acidity, likely from the lactic acid bacteria. As the melon flavour became more prominent, the softer jelly centre contrasted with the exterior, biting through cleanly and releasing a bold melon sweetness reminiscent of the melt-in-the-mouth flesh near the centre of the melon, which lingered in the aftertaste. Together, the bright acidity and firmer texture of the exterior complemented the vibrant sweetness of the softer interior, creating a juicy melon flavour true to fresh, ripe fruit, making it worth repurchasing.

This Kaneka Foods x JA Aichi Atsumi Melon Gumi contained 40 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Hong Kong in 2023.
