Product information

About

Heart-shaped lemon gummies from Japan, each one coated in a sour powder over a sweet lemon chew. Lemon has been on sale since Puré began in 2002, and Puré is Japan's best-selling gummy brand by sales (Intage, a Japanese retail-sales tracker, October 2024 to September 2025). Buy it if you like a sour lolly that turns sweet as you chew; if you want one that stays fiercely sour all the way through, this is the wrong bag.

On the pack: ピュレグミ (pyu-reh goo-mee), with LEMON in English.

What you're getting

  • The sour, slightly gritty coat comes first, then the gummy underneath turns sweet.
  • Sour but fresh, and mild enough that some people want it sourer.
  • Firmness divides people: some find it soft, others find it firm.
  • The pieces are hearts, and now and then a star-shaped one turns up in the bag.
  • It tastes of lemon juice, though a few people find it closer to lemon tea.
  • Allergens: none of the major allergens are in the ingredients, but it is made on equipment that also handles milk. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.
  • Also on the label: the gummies are set with gelatine, an animal product, and the pack does not say which animal. Anyone who avoids animal products should skip it.

Keep the bag out of the sun and away from heat and humidity, as the pack says: in a warm room the coating can melt and the pieces stick together in one clump. The Puré Premium bags, including a pink lemonade one, are a different, centre-filled gummy; this is the everyday lemon.

Ingredients

In their own words

What Japanese buyers say

  • The sour powder outside and the softish gummy inside are just right together, and I love how the flavour bursts out with every chew.

    外側のすっぱいパウダーと、中のやわらかめなグミの食感の組み合わせがちょうどよくて、噛むたびにじゅわっと味が広がるのが好き。

    from monolog, a Japanese review site

  • If you want real sourness, it may fall short.

    酸っぱさが欲しい場合は物足りないかも

    from mognavi, a Japanese food and drink review site

  • The lemon is sour but fresh-tasting, a good sweet for when you want to feel refreshed.

    レモン味は酸っぱいけれど爽やかな味で、スッキリしたい時にいいお菓子です。

    from monolog

  • I can eat it at work and it refreshes me. Very good.

    仕事中に食べられて、リフレッシュできてとても良い

    from monolog

  • Personally I'd prefer it a bit softer.

    個人的にはもうちょっと柔らかい方が好きかも。

    from mognavi

  • The gummy inside is nicely firm, and as you chew, a fruity lemon sweetness comes through.

    中のグミは程よい硬さで、噛んでいくとレモンのフルーティーな甘みが出てくるのが美味しい。

    from mognavi

  • A moderate tartness and a texture that isn't too firm. It works well.

    適度な酸味と硬すぎずの食感はいい感じです。

    from monolog

  • It has the texture of the jelly sweets at your grandma's house (young people may not know them, but it's a nostalgic kind those who know will recognise), gooey, and I don't like it.

    おばあちゃん家とかにあるゼリーのお菓子みたいな食感(若いコは分からないかもだけど、わかる人には分かる懐かしいやつ)ネチャッとした食感で苦手。

    from mognavi

  • I kept it at room temperature, worried the fridge would change the texture, and it kept a nice springiness.

    冷蔵庫に入れてしまうと食感が変わってしまうかと常温保存でしたが、ほどよい弾力のままでした。

    from mognavi

  • My favourite gummy.

    グミで一番好き。

    from monolog

  • I eat one at a time between tasks, but with the warmer weather the sugar melted and they stuck together, so I tossed the last ones in all at once.

    作業の合間に一粒ずつ食べるのですが最近気温が高くなってきたので砂糖が溶けてくっついてしまい最後はおまとめで口に放り込んでしまいました。

    from mognavi

  • The slightly firm gummy has a satisfying chew and tastes good.

    少し硬めのグミは食べ応えがあり美味しいです

    from monolog

  • Reading the little message at the bottom of the pack quietly cheers me up.

    何気にパッケージの下のメッセージを読んで元気をもらえます。

    from monolog

  • Sour is fine, but lemon-sour just isn't for me.

    酸っぱいのはいいけど、レモンの酸っぱいのはどうにも、、、ダメだな。

    from mognavi

  • The outside is gritty, unlike other gummies that are just squishy.

    周りがジャリジャリしていて、他のブニブニしてるだけのグミとは違います。

    from monolog

  • Gummies hurt my teeth so I'm not keen on them, but Puré is the one I like.

    グミは歯が痛くなるので得意では無いのですが、唯一ピュレグミだけは好きです。

    from monolog

  • The texture wasn't what I imagined.

    想像の食感ではなかった

    from monolog

  • Frozen rock-hard, they're like ice cream at first. Delicious!

    冷凍庫に入れてカチカチにさせて食べると、最初はアイスっぽくて美味しくなります！

The maker

Where it comes from

  • Kanro
  • Nagano
  • Founded 1912

Kanro has made sweets in Japan since 1912. It brought out Puré in 2002 as a gummy made for grown-ups rather than children, and the brand now comes in a range of fruit flavours, with grape, lemon and muscat as the everyday three.

The gummies are made at Kanro's plants in Nagano, in the mountains of central Japan.
