The new "EATING MASS MOCHI" series of "EATING MASS MOCHI," a Japanese confectionery sold at FamilyMart that uses character motifs as its motifs, consists of mochi dough filled with red bean paste and cream. We tried "Chiikawa Chiikawa Kurimanju" and "Eating Masumochi Chiikawa Hachiware Usagi".

Each is priced at 358 yen (tax included).

Eating Masumotchi Cheeky Cheeky Manjuu

The round rice cake is a reproduction of the rich expressions of "Chiikawa," "Kurimanju," "Hachiware," and "Usagi," the characters of "Chiikawa" created by illustrator Mr. Nagano. The ears and the pattern on the head are reproduced by kneading, and the rice cake is filled with sweet bean paste that is easy to eat.

Each character has six different facial expressions, and there are a total of 36 combinations of facial expressions in one product. Each character has a lineup of 36 different expressions, including a smiling face, a crying face, and a hearty face. One of the six is a secret design. You can choose your favorite expression at the store. Limited quantities available.

Cheeky kuru manju is made with a milk-flavored bean paste. The mochi is soft and smooth, and is filled with sweet milk-flavored red bean paste. The bean paste has a smooth texture and is sweet. It tastes as if the cuteness of Chiikawa is directly transformed into the flavor. It is recommended to be paired with unsweetened tea or coffee.

The small plates are the personal belongings of the author.

Kuri manju's red bean paste tastes like marron. It is filled with moist and smooth marron-flavored red bean paste. The taste of chestnut spreads softly! Recommended for those who like chestnut flavored sweets. The size of the ear is different from that of the Chiikawa. Might be good with alcohol!

Eating Masmochi Cheeky Cheeky Hachiware Rabbit

Hachiware's bean paste tastes like custard. It is full-bodied and you can enjoy its chunky sweetness. It may be more of a Western-style confectionery. It is recommended to be served with straight tea or milk tea.

The bunny bean paste tastes like pudding. The pudding flavor of the bean paste and the sticky rice cake are a perfect match. It also has a strong Western taste.

They are all sweet, so they are recommended for those with a sweet tooth. Please pick them up when you see them!
