Hitokuchi Mango Jelly

The rich sweetness and refreshing sourness of Alfonso mangoes fill the mouth with this bite-sized jelly. The luxurious puree of 100% Indian-grown Alphonso mangoes gives it a fruity taste just like real mangoes. No food additives are used in this jelly in order to convey the taste of Alfonso mango as it is. The taste of Alfonso mangoes is maximized, resulting in a thick, rich jelly that is satisfying even in bite-size portions.

This jelly is made with only natural ingredients such as mango puree, agar agar, konjac flour, and lemon juice. In order to directly convey the taste of Alphonso mango, we thought that the jelly should be purely natural, without adding any unnecessary ingredients (Eucheim calls the technique of making sweets from natural ingredients without any impurities). After repeated trial after trial, we created the golden ratio of the formula that solved the problem.

Alfonso Mango

India boasts the world's largest production of mangoes. Among the approximately 40 varieties of Indian mangoes, the Alfonso mango, also known as the "King of Mangoes," is considered exceptional. Because they are harvested only during the extremely hot pre-monsoon season, these rare mangoes are only available from April to June during the year. The bright orange flesh is characterized by its rich sweetness followed by a soft acidity.
