The sweet snacks are themed after one of the most iconic Pokémon characters in the franchise, Pikachu. The Kanro Puré gummies come in miniature Pikachu shapes as well as cartoonish hearts and rings. The Pikachu theme is extended by the playful packaging, which models Pikachu in different poses. In addition, the packaging comes in five different variations, which enable consumers to choose the style and color with which they most identify. The Kanro Puré gummies' new flavor embraces the summer sun. The soft candy highlights a fizzy, tropical taste that offers notes of pineapple soda along with orange and mango. The Kanro Puré gummies will be available in Japan starting on July 6th, 2021.
