Bourbon Sharimoni Gummy Candy Grape

Sharimoni Gummy Grape is the baseline of the range, and the shortest ingredient list in it.

Sugar, starch syrup, gelatin and concentrated grape juice — nothing else that counts as a flavour component.

Where the yogurt version adds bifidobacteria and the peach version leans on a difficult aroma, this one simply puts grape juice behind the texture and lets the format do the work.

Grape is Japan’s default sweet flavour, the one every confectioner has a version of, and the reference point here is Kyoho — the large, dark, intensely sweet table grape bred in Japan in the 1930s and now the variety the national palate is calibrated to.

The purple comes from anthocyanin, the pigment in the grape skins themselves, rather than synthetic dye.

The texture is what the brand is named for.

Shari is the granular crunch of coarse sour powder on the outside, closer to sugar crystals than to the fine dusting most sour gummies use; moni, from mochi-muni, is the dense springy chew underneath.

Bourbon calls the transition between them a wave, and the product is built around it rather than around any one mouthfeel. 57 g to a bag, with 17 mg of vitamin C.
