This is the UHA Mikakutō Cororo Shimizu White Peach, made with purée from Shimizu peaches and concentrated apple juice. The Shimizu peach, originating from Okayama Prefecture, is a premium Japanese variety renowned for its exceptional sweetness, soft texture, and fragrant aroma—often referred to as the “queen of peaches”.

Each pack contained 9 gummies, shaped like small sausages with a golden-yellow hue, measuring approximately 2 cm in length and 1.5 cm in diameter. The gummies emitted a sweet, vibrant aroma characteristic of ripe white peach.

On tasting, the outer membrane gave way with a crisp snap, revealing a firm, jelly-like interior. The texture resembled a gelatin-set jelly, with a slight bounce and a more pronounced al dente ‘crunch’ from the outer casing, which remained consistent throughout the chew. The Shimizu peach flavour appeared immediately—beginning with mellow sweetness that developed into a fragrant, floral richness. This melted on the palate with a note of juicy acidity, closely echoing the texture and flavour evolution of the fruit itself. A honeyed intensity followed in the finish, leaving behind a lingering floral, sweet-tart aftertaste.

Overall, this gummy delivered a well-executed expression of Shimizu peach, offering nuanced texture and a flavour experience that captured the delicacy and depth of the fruit.

This UHA Mikakutō Cororo Shimizu White Peach contained 40 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Tōkyō, Japan in 2024.
