Two products, "Dried Persimmon Monaka - with rice cake" and "Dried Persimmon Ankoromochi", which lavishly use "Ichida persimmon" produced in Nagano Prefecture, will be released by CREET. The release date is September 5. The price is open to the public.

The "Monaka" is an easy-to-eat, bite-sized Japanese confectionary that allows the elegant sweetness of Ichida persimmon to fill the mouth. It is a perfect match for the mochi (rice cake) and gyuhi (rice flour). The packaging of the two items can be connected by placing them side by side to reveal a large Ichida persimmon.

Dried Persimmon Monaka with Mochi

Ichida persimmons are kneaded into a moist and smooth bean paste and wrapped in a savory monaka skin.

Dried Persimmon Ankoromochi

Ichida persimmon is kneaded into the white bean paste and wrapped with soft and fluffy Gyuhi, resulting in a refined taste.
