UHA Mikakuto Ninja Meshi Ume Katsuobushi Gummy Candy 20g

UHA Mikakuto's Ninja Meshi Ume Katsuobushi is one of the most distinctly Japanese gummy sweets on the market — a flavour combination that works considerably better than it might sound to someone unfamiliar with the pairing. Ume plum and katsuobushi bonito are a classic Japanese seasoning combination, used together in rice dishes, onigiri, and snacks across Japan, and the two translate surprisingly well into gummy form. The plum base — made with double the ume purée compared to the previous recipe — provides a concentrated, genuinely fruity tartness and sweetness, while kombu seasoning extract and bonito extract round the flavour with a quiet, savoury umami that lingers at the back of the palate. The texture is firm and chewy in the style of Japanese gummies rather than soft and yielding. The 20g bag is a single-serving snack size, easy to finish in one go as a desk snack or between meals.
