New products using new rice produced in 2023

At Shateraise stores, three types of Daifuku using new rice produced in 2023, "Tsuki Daifuku", "Daifuku Walnut Soy Sauce", "Hakushu Meisui Salted Bean Daifuku" and "Tokachi Azuki Ohagi" will be on sale from November 3, and will be available until December 22.

Coarse Pounding Daifuku

Baked Daifuku made with Hokkaido-grown hakucho-glutinous rice dough, wrapped in homemade bean paste and baked to a fragrant top. In order to preserve the flavor of the rice, the rice grains are left intact to give the Daifuku a soft and firm texture.

The red beans from Tokachi in Hokkaido are used for the red bean paste, which is carefully cooked to a rich flavor. You can enjoy this special coarse-polished Daifuku made with richly flavored and fragrant new rice only available now. The price is 108 yen (tax included, same as below).

Daifuku with Walnut Soy Sauce

The dough is made from Japanese rice with a grain-like texture, wrapped in home-cooked sweet bean paste with roasted walnuts, and baked to a savory top. The flavor of the new rice, the texture of the grains, and the aroma of soy sauce can be felt in this limited-time-only flavor. It is recommended to compare it with the standard coarse-paste Daifuku. Price: 108 yen.

Hakushu Meisui Salted Bean Daifuku

Daifuku is made with a dough kneaded with flavorful Hokkaido red peas and filled with homemade sweet bean paste. The dough is made from Miyagi Prefecture's Miyagikogane rice, which is characterized by its firm yet stretchy texture, and its sweetness is kept to a minimum, allowing the original sweetness and flavor of the rice to be felt. The bean paste is made from large, flavorful Dainagon azuki beans from Hokkaido, and is cooked to a soft red bean paste. The balance of the subtle saltiness of the salted bean dough and the sweetness of the sweet bean paste, combined with the fresh flavor and sweetness of the new rice, makes this a delicious treat available only now. Price: 151 yen.

Tokachi azuki bean o-hagi (2 pieces)

Ohagi (rice balls) with homemade red bean paste and fresh rice. The rice dough is made from Japanese glutinous rice, and is topped with a generous amount of homemade azuki red beans from Tokachi, Hokkaido, which are carefully cooked in house to create a mildly sweet bean paste. Even though it is filled with red bean paste, it has a light taste, and the flavor of azuki beans fills the mouth. The price is 280 yen.
