Bourbon Fettuccine Gummy Candy Soda

Fettuccine Gummy Soda has ginger in it, which is the detail that explains the flavour.

Lemon and lime juice concentrates supply the acidity, but ginger powder is what produces the faint warmth at the back of the throat — the sensation that makes a soft drink read as fizzy when there is no carbonation involved at all.

It is the same trick ginger ale runs on, applied to a gummy.

Bourbon’s word for the result is sukkiri: clean, uncluttered, nothing left hanging.

Sōda as a Japanese flavour is worth explaining.

It does not mean cola or any particular drink, but the clear blue-tinted soft drink sold at festival stalls and in ramune bottles — a flavour category of its own here, understood as bright, sharp and faintly citrus.

The blue in this gummy comes from spirulina and carotene, both plant-derived rather than synthetic dye.

The shape is Bourbon’s signature. Each piece is rolled flat and wide like the pasta it is named for, which gives a springy al dente chew a thick gummy cannot produce and creates far more surface for the sour powder coating every strand.

Fettuccine Gummy has been a fixture of the Japanese gummy aisle for over fifteen years. 50 g to a bag, with 52 mg of vitamin C.
