Why we picked it: Who says autumn snacks have to be serious? These fun Pokémon gummies combine a refreshing grape-soda flavour with a playful “fishing” gimmick, making them a great pick for Pokémon fans and anyone who enjoys something a little different.
🍵 Pocky Double Layer – Deep Bitter Matcha
Why we picked it: September is a great time to reach for a deeper, more grown-up matcha flavour. Made with two types of matcha, this Pocky balances gentle bitterness and umami with a smooth chocolate coating.
🍑 Kororo Kiyomizu Hakuto White Peach Gummies
Why we picked it: A little taste of summer before we fully settle into autumn! These juicy Kororo gummies are inspired by Kiyomizu Hakuto white peaches from Okayama, with a soft, fruit-filled texture and refreshing peach flavour.
