In 2019, ANA Catering Service (ANAC) launched the brand “ANA FINDELISH,” aiming to travel the world of food with a series of original products. ANA FINDELISH initially offered popular in-flight meals such as the “Awa-odori Chicken and Mushroom Curry” served in ANA's first class.
With the growing popularity of gummy candies, the ANAC team set out to create an ANA original gummy. In 2023, ANAC expanded its product line with the introduction of Aogumi.
Aogumi Night Flight, introduced in March 2024, are the second version of ANA FINDELISH's original gummy candies with a variety of new flavors and textures.
ANA FINDELISH's Gummies: Aogumi Night Flight
Representing both the blue sky and ANA's brand colors, “Aogumi” is a play on words meaning both “blue team” and “blue gummy.”
Chihiro Kondo from ANAC's Planning and Sales Division shared insights into the production of Aogumi.
“Aogumi was our first experience producing a candy, so there were some challenges during the development of the product,” says Kondo.
Despite the challenges, the team successfully designed a fun and unique product with a mix of shapes, flavors and textures and when eaten together, creates a novel taste.

Building on the success of the original, Aogumi Night Flight draws inspiration from the night sky, offering a variety of flavors and textures to savor. The gummies include a firm, Triton Blue Hawaii flavored airplane shaped gummy, a fluffy, grape flavored star shaped gummy and a chewy, lemon soda flavored star shaped gummy.
