Product information
About
Small soda-flavoured gummies from Japan, made harder and chewier than Kasugai's ordinary Tsubugumi gummies, in a 70 g bag. Katai means hard. Buy it if you like a gummy you have to work at; if you want a soft, quick chew, this is the wrong bag.
On the pack: つぶグミ カタイソーダ (tsoo-boo goo-mee ka-tie soh-da). Tsubu means a small bead.
What you're getting
- The badge かたさ2倍 on the pack means twice as firm as ordinary Tsubugumi: the centre takes a proper bite.
- Soda flavours, including cola and grape soda.
- Some people find it less hard than the name suggests.
- The beads are small, so you can eat a few at a time.
- Allergens: contains milk and soy; the milk is lactose. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.
- Also on the label: made in a factory that also handles prawn, wheat and peanut. The gummies are set with gelatine from an unstated animal, and the unnamed glazing agent (the coating that gives sweets a shine) may be shellac, from insects. Anyone who avoids animal products should skip it.
Keep the bag below 28 °C and out of the sun, as the pack's storage line says.

Not ingredients — these are made or handled on the same equipment as this product, so traces are possible. We list every shared-equipment allergen stated on the pack or by the maker.
- Dietary notes
-
The gummies are set with gelatine, an animal product, and the pack does not say which animal it comes from. The glazing agent (the coating that gives sweets a shine) is not named, so it may be shellac, which comes from insects. The gelatine rules it out for vegetarians and vegans.
