Japanese sweets like Western confectionery are sold here and there in KALDI. This time, we will review the Tastings of "Chocolate Kintsuba," "Coffee Kuzumochi," and "Chocolate Yokan," which are of particular interest!
● Chocolate Kintsuba (145 yen, tax included, same below)
A chocolate-filled bean paste wrapped in a dough mixed with cocoa. There are two types of lineup: plain and orange flavors containing orange and Satsuma mandarin juice.
It's made a little hard, but it melts in your mouth when you eat it. The elegant sweetness of azuki beans and the bitter taste of chocolate spread at the same time. The other thing that comes out of my mouth is a coffee-like flavor ... It's novel but delicious!
It has azuki beans in it, and sometimes it has a chewy texture like Japanese sweets.
The orange flavor looks the same as plain but has a strong orange taste (scent)! The sweet taste of chocolate and azuki beans and the refreshing flavor of citrus are a little mature.
● Coffee kuzumochi (170 yen)
Mysterious Japanese sweets like coffee jelly like yokan. Please cool it in the refrigerator.
It has a soft and smooth texture. Although it has a slickness like coffee jelly, it has a denseness like kuzumochi that is entwined with the tongue.
When you eat a bite, the taste of bitter coffee and the faint sweetness of azuki beans fill your mouth. The bitterness is a little stronger, so I think it's delicious with coffee fresh or vanilla ice cream.
● Chocolate yokan (189 yen)
Western-style yokan with a combination of red bean paste and chocolate. It has a smooth and smooth mouthfeel, and when chewed, it melts softly and the sweetness of azuki spreads.
The taste of chocolate that chases afterwards. You can enjoy the sweetness of Japanese (red bean paste) and Western (chocolate) in a well-balanced manner. The slight bitterness of chocolate makes the aftertaste refreshing, so even if you get tired of ordinary yokan on the way, you can eat it until the end.
Three Japanese and Western eclectic sweets that people who don't usually eat Japanese sweets can easily enjoy. All of them are delicious, so why not pick them up when you see them?
