[Are You an Ice or Jelly Person?] Choosing Becomes More Fun! The Long-Awaited 'Strawberry' and 'Japanese Pear' Join the 'Fruit Ice & Jelly' Series, Expanding the Lineup to a Total of Four Varieties!

Tomomasu Drink Co., Ltd. (Representative: Satoshi Tomoda, Headquarters: 2575-3 Iwakura, Ogi-machi, Ogi City, Saga Prefecture) will release 'Strawberry' and 'Japanese Pear' sequentially across Japan starting Monday, June 1, 2026, as the second installment of its new-concept hybrid snack series 'Fruit Ice & Jelly.'

■ Enhancing the 'Fun' and 'Diversity' of Selection Based on Season and Mood

The 'Fruit Ice & Jelly' series launched its first installment (White Peach and Watermelon) in March 2026. Although it was a challenge for Tomomasu to enter a new category, the lineup is now being expanded in response to the great feedback received from many customers.

The keyword for this release is 'Tomomasu's characteristic style that can be enjoyed year-round.'

In addition to the existing lineup, the classic 'Strawberry,' loved by all generations, and 'Japanese Pear,' which offers fresh and juicy sweetness, have newly joined.

As a result, the series has expanded to a total of four varieties: 'White Peach, Watermelon, Strawberry, and Japanese Pear.' With this diverse lineup, the products can be enjoyed throughout the year, not only to cool down in the heat of summer but also as everyday snacks during autumn and winter.

The expanded flavor options further enhance the 'fun' and 'diversity' of choice according to the season and preference. It has evolved into a jelly drink that is closer to daily life, matching the mood or temperature of the day.

■ Product Dedication

We have carefully selected two fruits that are widely loved across generations, which were highly requested by our customers.

● Strawberry: A rich taste loved by everyone

A classic flavor filled with a gorgeous aroma and sweet-and-sour taste. We pursued a rich, nostalgic taste like jam that offers high satisfaction whether consumed as jelly or ice cream. It is also perfect as a snack for children.

● Japanese Pear: Juicy taste replicated with attention to the crisp texture

Japanese pear is said to be very difficult to replicate. We finely adjusted the delicate balance to reproduce the characteristic juiciness of Japanese pear, along with its elegant, refreshing sweetness and aroma. Furthermore, we focused on recreating the unique crisp ('shari') texture of Japanese pear. The crunchy texture of ice when frozen overlaps with the texture of the pear, providing a unique experience for this series.

■ Product Features

A jelly drink with a hybrid texture that is delicious whether chilled or frozen.

● Chilled: Becomes a smooth jelly drink with an easy-to-swallow texture. It can be carried at room temperature, making it ideal for outdoor activities.

● Frozen: Becomes a crispy, smooth frozen dessert. After a short while, it shifts into a chewy yet crispy texture.

As it can be stored at room temperature for a long period, it is also ideal as a stock snack. Additionally, because it is a spout pouch type with a cap, it is easy to consume and hard for small children to spill.

■ What is 'Fruit Ice & Jelly'?

Chilled as jelly, frozen as ice. A new-concept pouch that lets you enjoy two textures in a single package. Because it is a pouch type with a cap, it is safe for small children without worrying about spills. It can be enjoyed in a wide range of situations, such as relaxing at home or going out. Furthermore, when left for a short while after being frozen, the jelly and ice melt together to create a 'chewy-crispy texture'! This changing texture is truly a new experience. Please find your own perfect time to eat it.
