Bright and subtly tart in flavor, Issei's Yuzu flavored Mochi Gummies are unique. Yuzu is a unique citrus fruit from Japan with a strong, captivating fragrance and intricate blend of mandarin, grapefruit, and lemon undertones. Yuzu has emerged as a favored citrus among top chefs worldwide, quickly ascending to the peak of culinary trends, despite its premium cost. Yuzu has a very special place in our hearts since the eminent cradle of Yuzu is her mother’s homeland - Kochi, Japan. When crafting a yuzu flavor for our Issei Mochi Gummies, Mika approached the task with meticulous care, collaborating with flavor experts through numerous iterations to capture the true essence of the fruit.
Issei Mochi Gummies are chewy candies inspired by the ancient Japanese tradition of mochi treats – a delightful snack with a satisfyingly soft pillowy texture, somewhere between a gummy bear and a marshmallow. Issei means “first star” or “one life” in Japanese, but it also refers to first generation Japanese immigrants in the U.S. — symbolizing the earnest hope of immigrants who bring the best of their heritage to their newfound home. Issei is dedicated to infusing diversity and inclusion into the food sector, building bridges across cultures through the universal language of food.
