NeroNero Naroni, Space Fruit Flavor

Kracie "Nerunerunerune – Space Fruit Flavor" is a new flavor launched to celebrate the product's 40th anniversary. It is an educational candy with a mixed berry flavor inspired by astronaut Naoko Yamazaki's experiences in space. When the powder is mixed with water, the color changes from blue to purple with a creamy expansion, then it's adorned with star and planet-like toppings (fizzing granules, cool granules, and strawberry-flavored sugar flakes) and a pineapple-flavored sauce representing a "mini moon," all to embody the atmosphere of space in a fun way for children.

It is sold in supermarkets, pharmacies, and convenience stores throughout Japan. It was designed to evoke the scent of space, which is said to have an organic compound, "ethyl formate," resembling the smell of berries. The toppings were chosen through a "children's meeting" so that a variety of flavors can be enjoyed with every bite.
