Tarami

What Tarami does

Tarami Corporation (株式会社たらみ) is a Japanese fruit jelly manufacturer founded in 1969 in Nagasaki Prefecture, now operating as a subsidiary of DyDo Group Holdings (since June 2012). The company manufactures cup-format jellies, pouch-format konjac jellies, and drinkable jelly desserts organized into multiple sub-brands including Gorotto (large fruit chunks), 濃い0kcal (zero-calorie), PURE (seasonal fruit), Torokeru (melting texture), Triple Zero, 80kcal, and the functional Premium+ and Body Fat Reduction konjac series. Underlying products rely on proprietary gelation technology using thickening polysaccharides derived from seaweed and plant seeds rather than gelatin, combined with an upcycle aroma process that extracts fragrance from fruit peel after juicing. Distribution is concentrated in Japan through convenience stores, supermarkets, and produce stores, supported by regional sales offices in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Sendai, and Fukuoka, plus the Konagai Factory, the Nagasaki Logistics Center, and an official e-commerce storefront (jelly83.com); international activity consists of a 2018 joint venture in Qingdao, China, and a 2018 strategic partnership with Indonesia's Great Giant Pineapple Company for upstream fruit sourcing.
