Kanro Grape Candy

This traditional hard candy, from a package of mixed fruit sweets, was a pleasant surprise.

The initial taste impression is artificial grape, supplanted almost immediately by real, or very realistic, Concord grape flavor. Those of you who have had Kosher sacramental wine will recognize the flavor immediately. The rest of you are, no doubt, more familiar with Wild Irish Rose. Either way, it's good!

So good, in fact, that I didn't want to bite into it. Loyal to my readers, however, bite I did. It fractures well, but with a bit of gumminess on the molar. Points neither won or lost, but if you're like me you'll probably want to savor it until the end.

A tip of the hat to Kanro's Manager of Research Office in Development Main Unit Masuhito Yamamura.
