I tried 7-ELEVEN limited "Naruto Kintoki Western-style Imo Yokan". It is a sweet that you can enjoy whether it is cold or warm.
The price is 158 yen and the calories are 104 kcal. The sweet potato brand "Naruto Kintoki", which has a creamy mouthfeel and a rich flavor and natural sweetness, is kneaded with fresh cream and sugar.
Although it is labeled as yokan, it has an impression similar to sweet potatoes and potato kinton. When you receive the packaging, it comes in a small paper container, but be careful when taking it out. It is a sweet that easily crumbles even when it is chilled.
The mouthfeel is soft and moist, and the place where it easily crumbles just by pressing with your tongue feels like sweet potato. Thanks to the fresh cream, it has a mellow aftertaste, and as you eat it, you will feel quite hungry.
By the way, it is said that it is delicious even if it is warmed, and if you cut the bag a little and heat it in the microwave, the scent of Kintoki will rise and the sweetness of the potatoes will be even stronger.
The standard heating time is 30 seconds for the mainstream 500W output in the home range and 10 seconds for the 1,500W range in shops. Please note that when warming, do not take out the yokan from the paper container. If you transfer it to a plate and then heat it, it will crumble. It will be easier to eat with a spoon after warming.
