Natsukashiya Japanese Grape Gummies
Since 1901, Natsukashiya has been producing handcrafted confections in Japan with the same traditional preserving techniques. On a recent trip to Japan, our Milk Street team discovered the unassuming confectionery and some of their naturally sweet bites. Made with real grape juice from grapes grown in the Nagano Prefecture, each of Natsykashiya’s bite-sized jellies start with a crystalline crunch from a fine sugar coating, which gives way to a tender and chewy interior. Crisp and slightly floral with a hint of sourness, the full brightness of the fresh fruit shines through. Unlike other gummies that are artificial, overly sweet and stick to your teeth, even those who don’t crave candy will reach for a second or third of this special treat.
