"Ponjuice Mochi" is a mochi made from ponjuice. I've been worried about it for a long time, so I bought it.


The place I bought it was "KINOKUNIYA Entree" at JR Station Naka, and the price was 203 yen (tax included). The package incorporates the familiar Ponjuice design. When you open the big bag, there are many toys in the small bag. Somehow, it looks like the fruit of a mandarin orange.


When you open the pouch, it smells like citrus. They use orange and Citrus unshiu juice.


When cut in half, you can see the pure white marshmallow in the light orange-colored rice cake skin, and the dark orange-colored orange jelly inside.

If you taste it carefully from the outside, the mochi on the skin will have a faint orange and mandarin orange flavor, but this is suppressed. Marshmallows are softer and more elastic.

Finally, when you touch the jelly with your tongue, it has a bittersweet orange taste and a scent that reminds you of the oranges that you often eat with a kotatsu in winter. I didn't feel the acidity.

However, one grain is small, so if you eat it normally, it will be crispy with one or two. While enjoying the texture of mochi and marshmallows, you can also taste the jelly ponjuice inside at the same time.

In addition, Nihonbashi Kabo, a maker of ponjuice mochi, has released a series with popular drinks such as "Calpis mochi" and "Nectar peach mochi", so you may want to look for it if you are interested. not.
