"Animal Beko Mochi (3 types set)" discovered at the product exhibition. The price is 500 yen (tax included). It is usually sold at "Road Station Yokohama" Nanohana Plaza "".
This is an animal-patterned beko mochi that is steamed with rice flour and sugar. I'm not very familiar with the author who grew up in the Kanto region, but he says that it is often eaten in Hokkaido and the Tohoku region.
There are three types of patterns: beef, pig, and panda. The charm point is the loose face that makes you a little uneasy if you keep looking at it for a while.
The card that came with it had instructions on how to eat it, so I decided to try lentin and toaster this time. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute and in the toaster for 4 minutes.
Beko mochi warmed in the microwave is pinched with chopsticks and stretches smoothly. You can enjoy a slightly sweet and chewy texture.
Remove the wrap and then lightly rewind.
Although the toaster-heated beko mochi is harder than the microwave oven, it was eaten lightly without clinging to the chopsticks.
It depends on your taste, but if you want to enjoy a firmer texture, we recommend a microwave oven. Animal beko mochi that looks cute. It seems to be useful as a small souvenir.
