It looks like a simple deep-fried bread, but when you open the slit, you will find a soft and chewy rice cake, Kuromitsu jam, and cream inside! The mochi is quite sticky and stretches well when spread out.

The combination of the rich, elastic rice cake, rich molasses jam, and savory soybean flour flavor creates a delicious Japanese taste. The savory taste of the soybean flour and the flavor of the bread go well together and are very satisfying to eat.

However, since the bread is a little tough and dry, it may be better to have something to drink when eating it, as it will take away the moisture in your mouth. You may enjoy it with coffee or tea as well as refreshing green tea.
