A real food review of the expected new work!

Ginko Kinako Black Mitsu

The popular "Hanamochi Kinako Black Mitsu" released in 2015 and 2017 has evolved even more deliciously. It is a special flavor that brings out the original flavor of kinako by "ginning" and "selecting" the type and blending method of kinako.


On the top, there are plenty of lightly roasted kinako, which is a blend of black soybeans (Tamba species) and yellow soybeans. It stretches and melts in your mouth, spreading its aroma at once. The scent that goes through your nose is also rich.



Next is an ice cream that combines deep roasted soybean flour and milk. Every time you eat soybean flour with toppings, your mouth becomes more and more dominated by the fragrant flavor. Black honey sauce adds a rich sweetness to it. Each one works together to give you a feeling of luxury as if you were eating high-class Japanese sweets!

Zunda

A new flavor using the popular "Zunda" in recent years. The image is of Tohoku's local confectionery, which is made by adding sugar, water, and salt to mashed edamame and adding "Zunda bean paste" to taste.


The top zunda bean paste is characterized by the crushed texture of edamame. Combined with the soft mochi, the deliciousness of the zunda mochi is exactly the same! You can also feel the bluish flavor of edamame.


The slightly greenish ice cream uses strong flavored tea beans and milk. The mellow richness wraps the refreshing sweetness of edamame. The salt added as a secret ingredient of the zunda sauce is a good accent. It makes the bean flavor stand out while tightening the aftertaste.


The estimated price is as high as about 300 yen, but the quality does not make you regret buying either flavor. If you put it in the freezer as a reward, I feel like you can do your work and housework ... maybe. Immerse yourself in the Japanese world of ice cream and mochi!
