Another must-try limited-edition gummy is coming to FamilyMart stores in Japan. From the “Munyoru Gummy” series, which became a hot topic among gummy enthusiasts for its unique “munyo-kata” (chewy-hard) texture, the long-awaited new “White Grape Soda Flavor” will be released on December 9, 2025.
What’s the Charm of This New Gummy That’s Both Soft and Hard?
The “Munyoru Gummy White Grape Soda Flavor,” true to its name, is an item where you can enjoy the rich flavor of white grapes and the refreshing sensation of soda.
The release date is Tuesday, December 9, 2025, with a reference price of 194 yen (tax included). It will be sold at FamilyMart stores all across Japan, although some stores may not carry it. As it’s a limited-quantity release, those who are interested are advised to check for it early.
The greatest feature of this gummy is, without a doubt, its unique texture. You can enjoy a “bouncy texture” that is both “munyo-munyo” (chewy) and has a firm bite.
The Japanese Gummy Boom Behind the Big Hit
In fact, the gummy category within Japan’s confectionery market continues to grow year after year. The reason for its popularity lies not only in the variety of flavors but also in the diversity of textures and shapes. In particular, “hard-type gummies,” with their appealingly firm chew, have won over many fans.
Amidst this trend, confectionery maker Kanro launched the “Munyoru Gummy Hanayaka Grape Soda Flavor” exclusively at FamilyMart stores in Japan in August 2024. This product garnered significant attention at the “Famima Gummy Fest,” held annually to coincide with “Gummy Day” on September 3rd, and it recorded top-class sales among the numerous limited-edition gummies.
On social media, praise for its deliciousness and unique texture poured in one after another. At the same time, many people expressed surprise at the gap between the relaxed, cute package design and the hard texture that was unimaginable from its appearance, making it a major topic of conversation.
A “Munyo-Kata” Texture and a Soothing Design
Following the positive reception of the previous version, the new “White Grape Soda Flavor” is now being released.
The texture of “Munyoru Gummy” is not just hard. It doesn’t snap in the middle of chewing; its key feature is a “munyo-munyo” bouncy texture with rubber-like elasticity.
Furthermore, each gummy piece has an uneven shape with varying heights. This creates a highly elaborate design that allows you to feel slight changes in texture depending on where you bite.
And, on very rare occasions, you might find a gummy shaped like the character “Munyo-munyo-kun” as a rare find inside the bag. It’s a playful gimmick that makes you lucky if you find one.
This new flavor is based on the juicy taste of white grapes, but it’s finished with a refreshing taste accented by a hint of lemon aroma that comes through afterward.
By rhythmically chewing on its “munyo-munyo” texture, it’s perfect for a change of pace during work or study breaks, or as a companion for “chill time” when you want to relax. It can be called a new type of gummy that matches modern lifestyles.
When you visit a convenience store in Japan, be sure to look for this gummy with its unique texture and design. It’s packed with the kind of small discoveries and fun that are unique to Japan.
