{"product_id":"morinaga-in-jelly-multi-mineral","title":"Morinaga in Jelly Multi Mineral Grape Drink — 180g","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 180 g pouch of grape jelly you drink through the spout rather than spoon. It tastes like Japanese grape confectionery rather than dark grape juice, two Japanese drinkers reach for the word muscat, the pale green table grape, to describe it, with a faint bitterness in the finish that some drinkers notice and some don't. This is the purple pouch in Morinaga's in Jelly range, and the only one of the five with no vitamins in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the pack: \u003cstrong\u003einゼリー マルチミネラル\u003c\/strong\u003e (in zerii maruchi mineraru). Look for the purple and silver one. Morinaga's own staff, answering a parent's question on a Japanese Q\u0026amp;A site, identified one of these by naming its colour rather than its product name, because five of these pouches look almost identical side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you're getting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape, but a Japanese grape. Two Japanese drinkers independently reached for \u003cem\u003emuscat\u003c\/em\u003e: the pale green table grape, to describe it, rather than the dark grape juice an Australian pictures. Grape juice is the first ingredient by weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThin and quick rather than thick. It slides down, and as one drinker puts it, it doesn't leave your stomach sloshing the way a bottle of something does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe thing a Japanese shopper knows and you wouldn't: iron drinks in Japan are almost all prune-flavoured. People who can't stand prune buy this one specifically to get away from it, one reviewer says exactly that, and it's the clearest reason this pouch exists in the shape it does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNothing to prepare: twist the cap, drink it, done. A lot of its use in Japan is on days when food is unappealing, and you can finish it lying down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe honest caveat: the finish divides people. A bitter note under the fruit is the most common complaint, raised by eight Japanese drinkers, and a consumer magazine's tasting panel marked it down for the same thing. The grape covers it for most people. Not for everyone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e: Morinaga declares none of Japan's twenty-eight named allergen categories in this product, gelatine included. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things worth being straight about. This is a food, not a supplement, and we make no claim about what the minerals in it do. And it is the only pouch in Morinaga's range carrying no vitamins at all: if vitamins were what you were after, the green grapefruit one is the Multivitamin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morinaga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48270558101730,"sku":"SH-DRK-0002","price":5.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/1312\/5858\/files\/morinaga-in-jelly-multi-mineral-180g-hero.webp?v=1787988144","url":"https:\/\/shintop.com.au\/products\/morinaga-in-jelly-multi-mineral","provider":"Shintop Trading Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
