Ginbis Tabekko Dobutsu Gummy Candy Grape

Tabekko Dobutsu has been a fixture of Japanese childhood since 1978, and for most of that time it meant one thing: a thin butter biscuit stamped into an animal shape with that animal’s English name across it.

This is the gummy, and Ginbis has kept the part that matters.

Every piece is cast from the same animal molds as the biscuits — ten shapes in this bag, the familiar Tabekko Dobutsu cast rendered in translucent purple instead of baked gold.

A single bag will not contain all ten, which is either a flaw or the entire appeal depending on how you feel about collecting things.

The texture is where Tabekko Dobutsu Gummy departs from its biscuit parent.

Japan takes gummy firmness seriously, and this one sits deliberately on the dense, resistant end of the scale — something to chew through rather than let dissolve.

The grape is real, too.

Most Japanese grape candy is pure flavoring chasing the Kyoho profile without any fruit involved, but Ginbis builds this on grape juice concentrate, and it lands closer to the actual fruit than the category norm.

The color comes from red cabbage and gardenia rather than synthetic dye, and there is collagen peptide and calcium worked in, the small functional additions the Tabekko Dobutsu line has always carried.

The bag is resealable, and it comes in four different illustrated designs showing the Tabekko Dobutsu animals busy making the gummies themselves.

They exist to be collected. Ginbis knows exactly what it is doing.

Please note that this product contains gelatin and collagen peptide, both animal-derived.
