Nosh of the Day: Grace Dew Fruits Jelly

I got given these jellies as a birthday present and wasn't 100% sure what they would be like. I had vague visions of Rowntree's raw jelly*. In fact they were damn yummy! Authentic, 'healthy' fruit flavours and a very nice firm, jelly texture. Ended up savouring... yet scoffing the whole lot in one go.

The Rokumeikan store (in Ginza, I guess the Tokyo equivalent of Bond Street or Piccadilly) looks quite posh, and seems to specialise in Grace Dew. Bit of a treat :)



* Rowntree's is the UK's most famous supermarket jelly brand. I suspect kids are helping their mums make it now, just as I did when I was small. It is not full of natural flavourings, and you're supposed to melt, dilute and re-set the jelly, of course. But as a sickly treat you might eat a cube 'raw' from the packet. Quite a contrast from the above, to be honest!
