Japanese sweets perfect for Valentine's Day. "Valentine Sasaragata" is on sale at the candy store Ryoguchiya Korekiyo. The price is 972 yen (tax included) for 3 pieces.

The vivid pink package is designed like a love letter. The moment you get it, you'll be surprised. The individual wrapping with hearts is also nice.




Not only the package but also the yokan is insanely cute! Marble pattern is designed by combining chocolate-flavored yokan with white chocolate and pink yokan. A transparent kingyoku-kan is layered on top of it. Three hearts are the point.


The transparent upper part has a smooth jelly-like texture. It slides down the throat while leaving a light sweetness. On the other hand, the yokan below is soggy and dense. Two different mouthfeels invite you to a deep world.


The richness of cacao and the soft sweetness of azuki beans are a perfect match. It is delicious with a sense of unity while retaining both flavors. I wonder if chocolate lovers and yokan lovers will be very satisfied with the finish.

The orange peel in the yokan is a refreshing accent. The slight bitterness tightens the taste. A sweet and slightly bitter taste of love.


"Valentine Sasaragata" is filled with hearts in both the package and the yokan. How about a gift for that Japanese sweets sect?
