Product Review: Kanro – Asobon! Gummy candy Soda & Fruit Mix

Photographs by MuchMunchies

These adorable gummies by Kanro are available in two varieties: fruit mix and soda mix. Both come with their own gummy animals, the shapes you can get are on the back of the packaging. Since they are filled at random there might be some gummy animals missing from your particular pack. The bag that contains these tiny animal gummies is re-sealable.

Kanro – Asobon! Gummy Candy – Fruit Mix
Price: ± €3,-

The theme for the gummy shapes seems to be animals that live on the land, when you look at the animal species used. These come in the following shapes: elephant, hippo, giraffe, bunny, squirrel, crocodile, parrot, kangaroo, lion and hedgehog.

All of the intended flavours were clearly present. The green gummies had a green apple flavour, the orange ones had an orange flavour and the purple ones had a grape flavour to them. The green ones had a slightly less strong flavour than the others, but it was still clearly there.

Kanro – Asobon! Gummy Candy – Soda Mix
Price: ± €3,-

Looking at the shapes in this packaging a clear theme is present: water creatures. The animal gummies in this pack are: whale, dolphin, fish, turtle, sunfish, starfish, penguin, shell, another kind of fish, another kind of whale and squid.

The flavours mentioned on the packaging are: soda, peach and melon. All of these flavours are clearly present, blue is soda, pink is peach and green is melon.

All of these gummies are chewy, but not too chewy. These candies sometimes leave a little layer of, what seems like, powdered sugar on your teeth. The flavours seem to take a little longer to hit than usual, but after chewing a couple of times you do get a clear flavour. They’re all sweet, but not overly so.
