Two "hojicha sweets" found at Seijo Ishii. It was very delicious when I tried it, so let me introduce it to everyone!
One is
"Toromochi Hojicha" (280 yen including tax) . A Japanese sweet made by wrapping roasted green tea whipped cream and black honey in soft warabi mochi dough and sprinkling with roasted green tea powder. 2 pieces included. Black honey uses brown sugar from Okinawa prefecture.

When you bring it to your mouth, it will be softly wrapped in a fresh aroma, just like freshly roasted tea. Ah ~ it smells good ...
The mochi is surprisingly soft and smooth with Tron, and the whipped cream inside is fluffy. Rich black honey is a modest accent. The bittersweetness and aroma of roasted green tea are fully utilized. It's delicious!
The other is
"Walnut Hojicha Mousse Japanese Parfait" (431 yen including tax) . A cup dessert based on roasted green tea mousse and topped with Japanese ingredients such as walnuts, dumplings, and red bean paste.

The Japanese ingredients on a separate plate are topped with a mousse by yourself to finish.
The soft and melty roasted green tea mousse has an excellent balance of subtle sweetness and crisp bitterness. It has a good fragrance and is slightly bitter, so it comes to the sweetness of moist kanoko beans and red bean paste. Exquisitely good ...
The crispy walnuts add a touch of change to the aroma and texture. The big dumplings and the bean paste inside are very chewy and very satisfying.
Both have a strong aroma and bitterness of hojicha, so it is recommended for people who have a strong love for hojicha. How about for adult dessert time?
