At the Forefront of Japan’s Hard Gummy Craze! Kanro’s Candemina Launches “Ichigeki Strawberry Soda” with Double the Thickness and a Zesty Kick

Japanese convenience stores and station kiosks are trendsetting hubs where the latest snacks appear first. The gummy selection is particularly impressive, with a constant stream of unique products featuring innovative textures and flavors.

A new must-try product is joining this competitive gummy battlefield. From the popular hard-texture gummy brand “Candemina,” the “Candemina Gummy W Impact Ichigeki Strawberry Soda,” boasting the toughest chew in the series’ history, will be released in limited quantities at convenience stores and station kiosks across Japan starting November 25, 2025.

A Shocking Chew! Candemina Gummy W Impact Ichigeki Strawberry Soda

As its name suggests, the “Candemina Gummy W Impact Ichigeki Strawberry Soda” is all about a “W” (double) impact.

The first impact is its outstanding chewiness. The gummy is about twice as thick as the standard “Candemina Gummy Super Best,” and combined with its unique “Geki-atsu W-Namigata” (Super-Thick Double Wave) shape, it delivers a long-lasting, hard elasticity that you can really sink your molars into. Japanese gummy fans tend to place a special emphasis on “chewiness,” making this product the ultimate answer to that demand.

The second impact is its stimulating flavor. Based on the classic “strawberry soda flavor” that everyone from children to adults can enjoy, it adds a zesty, tingling sensation. This enhances the “electric shock” feeling that Candemina expresses, creating an addictive taste that’s more than just sweet.

The packaging also features an impactful design that conveys the “electric shock” at a glance. It’s the perfect gummy for refreshing yourself during a break from work or study, or for an energy boost when you need that extra push.
