I tried Lawson's limited Japanese confectionery "Scorched Kinako Raw Daifuku Tsubuan". It is a dish for kinako lovers, with plenty of kinako sprinkled on the outside and stuffed with kinako cream inside.


The price is 140 yen (tax included) and the calories are 137 kcal. The cream made from carefully roasted black soybean flour and the sweet bean paste are wrapped in a chewy "habutae mochi" and sprinkled with soybean flour.


The soybean flour on the outside is sprinkled thickly on top of the rice cake, so be careful when removing it from the packaging. It is very easy to scatter. It smells so bad that it will be irresistible to those who like it from the time it is opened.


The habutae mochi used for the skin of Daifuku is a type of fertilizer, and when you hold it in your hand, your fingers will sink into it. When you cut it, you will find that it is packed with kinako cream, which contains a large amount of azuki beans.


When I try to eat it, the unexpected cream powder is quiet, and the soybean flour on the outside has a stronger flavor. Still, the double kinako flavor is a satisfaction that does not disappoint. The bean paste has a very good texture, and although the sweetness is modest, the aroma of azuki beans is strong, which makes me happy. It is a sweet that you want to combine with cold green tea or hojicha.
