Aohata peach jam is so good I now subscribe to it on Amazon
We eat toast with honey or jam for breakfast. Jam = Aohata for me (childhood strawberry staple; occasional marmalade trauma). My rule was “only strawberry/blueberry, others disappoint.” Then I spotted Aohata’s white peach jam at a local shop, bought it thinking “my peach-loving wife will finish it if it’s weird,” and it blew me away. Softly sweet, juicy chunks, hardly any heavy peach perfume—honestly better than strawberry.
I’m not even a peach fan; my wife is. Yet I kept reaching for this one, especially with butter or cream cheese. One 250 g jar disappears fast in a two-person jam skirmish.
Almost no local stock
Every store carries strawberry/blueberry. Peach? Rare. I hit 5–8 shops (drugstores/supermarkets) near home and maybe two carried it; some had orange instead (oddly not bitter and an acceptable understudy when peach is gone).
Problem solved: Amazon had a 4-pack, and even Subscribe & Save, at a price under my local shops. I never bothered to search “it’s just jam,” but now I don’t run out.
Reviews call it “peach confit,” “more apple than peach,” “baby loved it,” and “wait, no sugar?” Mild, compote-ish—fits all of that.
The “Marugoto Kajitsu” line
Aohata uses a low-temperature “Fine Fruity” process to keep fruit chunks intact. Current lineup:
They come in larger 250 g jars packed with fruit. The smaller 170 g classics aren’t in this series and taste more conventional; when I couldn’t find peach I tried Apple & Cinnamon once and never went back. With a subscription I stop worrying about stock and can rotate other Marugoto flavors when I’m in the mood. Sweet tooth, satisfied.
