This is konnyaku jelly, so you really have to chew these into small pieces before swallowing. It’s much tougher than regular jelly. 17 confirmed deaths from choking on these.

Mochi and konyaku have long been natural population control foods in Japan. It doesn’t matter how many warnings are posted on foods, every New Year’s holiday brings a number of choking deaths.
