Sake Anpan Sakura is a staple of Kimuraya. The price is 150 yen. It is a traditional method of making bread dough plump with a sake type that makes use of "Koji" used to make sake, and the hollow part like the "navel" in the middle contains salted double cherry blossoms. I will.

What's inside

The bread is not too moist when bitten, but it is not too hard and is exquisitely baked. The bean paste has a scent of red beans and a moderate sweetness. It has all the deliciousness that comes to mind when you hear it.

When you touch the salted cherry blossoms in the core, it has a slight scent of cherry blossoms and a slight saltiness, which further enhances the bean paste. The whole size is easy to eat by one person, and it is perfect for squeezing under the flowers.

Next is seasonal anpan using Amaou strawberry puree. The price is 200 yen. The characteristic is the bright red that pops into your eyes when you cut it with a knife or tear it by hand.

Red!

But this is not jam bread, it's just anpan. If you put it on, it will taste like red bean paste. The scent of strawberries is a little low, but it has a strong acidity.

Bread, like other sake types Anpan, has a wonderful balance that is neither too moist nor hard. It goes perfectly with the tightly packed strawberry sauce. Although it is fruity, it can be enjoyed as anpan, so if you combine it with milk, green tea, barley tea, or your favorite drink that does not stiffen your shoulders.

Unexpectedly "An" taste

If you're going out to see the cherry blossoms and enjoy a snack with someone, it's fun just to share the cherry blossoms, whose colors are eye-catching. Sake Anpan Amaou Strawberry is a place where you want to show the bright red bean paste well.

However, the one that I felt the best balance of taste was the sake type Anpan Sakura, and if you love the flowers quietly, I recommend this together.
