I tried the Japanese sweets "Ano Imo no Fuwatama" limited to FamilyMart. It tastes like the traditional Japanese confectionery "Mizuame" wrapped in cream and fluffy Joshinko dough.


The price is 118 yen (tax included) and the calories are 141 kcal. Homemade Daigakuimo-style honey is put in a cream using Anno potato paste from Tanegashima, Kagoshima prefecture, and wrapped in a soft and crispy dumpling. The surface is covered with white powder, so be careful when holding it in your hand.


The dumpling has a texture like Daifuku, and it is a dough that easily spreads so that it loses its shape just by holding it. It has an elegant sweetness, is moist and pleasant to the tongue, and goes well with the bean paste inside.


The cream contains Anno potato paste, but the texture is not like sweet potatoes, but very smooth, and you can enjoy the fragrant aroma. Finally, the honey in the center is like caramel, somewhere like starch syrup. It is also associated with the fine syrup made from sweet potatoes.


If you want to combine drinks, hot roasted green tea or black tea without milk may be good. Recommended sweets when you miss the taste of potatoes.
