Rock Melon Jelly from Hokkaido


This was a gift from someone whom has recently visited Hokkaido. I was told that these jellies can only be made during the fruit's season. In each of this elegantly packaged boxes were 6 containers of the really fragrant jellies. Included in the box was an envelope packed with plastic spoons for use. The texture of these melon jellies were slightly more coarse unlike the usual smooth gelatine. The jellies were sweet and literally bursts into a pretty strong rock melon flavour when it hits your tongue. There was even tiny specks of rock melon skin in them. Really nice stuff. No idea how much a box cost but it probably didn't come cheap where it came from.

The complex saltish sweetness with the aroma of scallops. Simply mouth watering and addictive! .....:p

Not to mention the texture! Ooh.. soft and chewy at the same time, each bite oozing with a flavor that can only be tasted to be appreciated fully. You're not helping Junie, Liquidshadow, but me neither haha! =P
