Starting March 10, 2026, “Shizuku no Hoseki Gummy: Rich White Peach Flavor” will be released exclusively at 7-Eleven (Konbini) locations across Japan. This product is an eco-friendly upcycled gummy co-developed by the long-established Japanese confectioner “Kanro” and the agricultural processing experts of Nagano Prefecture, “Minami Shinshu Kashi Kobo.” The popular White Peach flavor from 2025 is returning to Japanese convenience stores with a brand-new package design.
Repurposing Rich Syrup! A Luxurious Process That Concentrates Fruit Flavor
The “Shizuku no Hoseki Gummy” (Jewel of Drops Gummy) series is a special product line themed around sustainable manufacturing. Its most significant feature is the effective use of “syrup” generated during the dried fruit production process.
In the process of soaking fruit in molasses, a rich syrup infused with the fruit’s natural essence is created as a byproduct. By upcycling this syrup—which is often not fully utilized—into a raw material for gummies, they have achieved a dense flavor that captures the true essence of the fruit.
This series gained significant attention with its first release in 2024, the “Dense Apple Flavor,” praised for its authentic fruit taste and satisfyingly chewy texture. This was followed by the release of “Rich White Peach” and “Luxurious Shine Muscat” in 2025, both of which were highly supported by Japanese consumers. Now, the particularly popular White Peach flavor is being re-released with a fresh look.

A New “Chewy and Melting” Texture Created by White Peach Syrup
Taking a bite of this gummy, you will likely be surprised by its unique “mochi-toro” (chewy and melting) texture, which differs from standard gummies. Because it uses a generous amount of dense syrup in which white peaches were slowly steeped, a rich sweetness spreads through the mouth as if it were dissolving.
The syrup, which concentrates the deliciousness of the fruit during the dried fruit manufacturing process, is truly like a “jewel.” These gummies, which encapsulate that syrup, boast a prominent and elegant white peach aroma. They are perfect for a refreshing break during work or study, or as a small reward for yourself. Knowing the background of upcycling and environmental consciousness makes the experience even more fulfilling.
Packaging Reflecting the Beautiful Spring Scenery of Achi Village, Minami Shinshu
The updated packaging depicts the scenery of Achi Village in Nagano Prefecture, where the headquarters of Minami Shinshu Kashi Kobo is located. Achi Village is famous throughout Japan as the “Home of Flowering Peaches” (Hanamomo no Sato), where red, white, and pink “Hanamomo” (Flowering Peach) trees bloom from mid to late April.
The design reflects a desire to deliver the deliciousness of fruit nurtured by pure water and rich soil, along with the beautiful scenery of the production region. The bright, translucent design evokes the arrival of spring in Shinshu. Please experience this single “jewel” of a gummy, which packs both kindness to the Earth and the charm of Japan’s beautiful agricultural regions into one bag.
