About
A big share bag of Japan's everyday konjac jelly, about 24 little twist-open pouches in white peach, mango and grape. Think of it as Aeroplane jelly's firmer, bouncier cousin: you squeeze it straight from the pouch, and it's dense enough that you actually chew it. If you've seen konjac jelly going around online and wondered what the fuss is, this is the standard Japanese version of it, in the value-size bag Australian shops rarely stock.
ぷるんと蒟蒻ゼリー, "purun to konnyaku jelly", is the name on the bag, if you're matching it to something you tried in Japan.
If you've been comparing this against the Korean konjac jelly pouches — the drinkable ones with collagen and vitamin C, ten 150ml pouches to a box — it's a different product. Those are sipped, and they're sold as supplements; these are chewed, and they're sold as food.
What you're getting
- Taste: white peach and grape are made with real peach, apple and grape juice; mango is made on mango purée. They're sweeter than the fruit billing suggests, sweetened with sugar plus acesulfame K and sucralose, and you can tell.
- Texture: springy, bouncy jelly with real bite. Konjac sets much firmer than gelatine, so it's closer to a soft gummy than to a wobbly jelly cup.
- Count: packed by weight rather than by count, so the number in a bag varies — usually 24. Each pouch is a two-bite serve.
- Vegetarian: konjac is a plant root, so it sets without gelatine, and there's nothing animal-derived in any of the three flavours: no gelatine, no carmine, no shellac. That's us reading Orihiro's own ingredient list, not a certification.
- Allergens: the white peach and grape jellies contain peach and apple juice; the mango declares none. Australia's allergen chart has no peach or apple category, so neither can appear in the pack's allergen box here — check the ingredients, not the chart; ours is the fuller list.
Don't freeze them. Orihiro specifically warns that the pouch can tear and fire the jelly out as one hard lump, which is neither safe nor nice. And chew each one properly rather than sucking it straight from the pouch: konjac jelly is firmer than it looks, so young kids and older folks should have theirs pushed out in small pieces, with someone keeping an eye on them.
One bag to try the texture; more if the household approves.
Ingredients
The maker's ingredient list, translated from the Japanese pack. Anything after the break is an additive — the Japanese label lists those separately.
- White peach
- Fructose-glucose syrup (made in Japan), sugar, fruit juice (peach, apple), konjac powder / acidity regulator, gelling agent (thickening polysaccharides), flavouring, potassium chloride, sweeteners (acesulfame K, sucralose).
- Mango
- Fructose-glucose syrup (made in Japan), mango purée, sugar, konjac powder / acidity regulator, gelling agent (thickening polysaccharides), flavouring, potassium chloride, sweeteners (acesulfame K, sucralose), carotenoid colour.
- Grape
- Fructose-glucose syrup (made in Japan), sugar, fruit juice (grape, apple), konjac powder / acidity regulator, gelling agent (thickening polysaccharides), flavouring, potassium chloride, sweeteners (acesulfame K, sucralose).
Orihiro changed this recipe without changing the barcode, so an older bag may list one extra ingredient: reduced starch syrup, a plant-derived sweetener.

Our guide
How to eat it
- Eat them cold, straight from the fridge: the texture is at its best chilled.
- Twist off the tab, push the jelly out a little at a time rather than sucking it from the pouch, and chew each one properly: konjac jelly is firmer than it looks, so young kids and older folks should have theirs pushed out in small pieces, with someone keeping an eye on them.
- Never freeze them: the maker warns the pouch can tear and fire the jelly out as one hard lump.

It comes out in smaller pieces than the cup kind, so it doesn't look like it could get stuck in your throat.
