I got information that there is a super cute sweet with a cat motif in "Western confectionery Shugoro", which is about an 8-minute walk from JR Koenji Station. I went immediately.
This shop is already full of "I like cats!" From the outside. Of course, the inside of the store is full of cats!
The signboard product "Yumeneko" was purchased while having a lively talk with the friendly shopkeeper. It comes in 5 pieces and the price is 1,700 yen (tax included).
"Yumeneko" is a sweet made of colorful cats with freshly roasted fragrant almonds and caramel. A total of 5 white cats, blue cats, light red cats, black cats, and purple cats in one box.
One of the reasons why cats have come to be called "cats" is that they sleep so well that there is a theory that they came from the "sleeping child" of the "sleeping child." The gentle back line and the ears that stood up. It seems that you can hear the sound of throating at any moment.
It's not just the appearance that makes it attractive. The white cat is a dish that you can enjoy the elegant sweetness of vanilla and honey, and the crispy skin contains nuts and caramel.
Even though it has a chewy texture, there is no discomfort that nougat clings to your teeth, and it is insanely easy to eat!
Aoneko has a slightly unusual flavor that combines soy sauce and fresh cream. The fluffy soy sauce scents, followed by the sweetness. Maybe you can feel the aftertaste similar to miso somewhere? But it looks like Japanese sweets and is delicious! It seems to be a habit.
Light red cat is a sweet with the acidity of Franboise. Enjoy the sweet and sour scent and aftertaste. It has a strong sweetness and may be a good companion for tea.
The black cat is a dream cat made from bitter chocolate made in France. Every time you chew, the elegant scent of chocolate spreads in your mouth. It's a perfect Valentine's gift for cat lovers.
Purple cat is a recommended dish for cinnamon lovers. The moderately fragrant cinnamon is a nice accent.
Shugoro's "Yumeneko" allows you to enjoy the cute design with your eyes and enjoy the unique flavor with your tongue. You can buy it in bulk, so please choose your one at the store.
