Fujiya's limited-time shop "COUNTRY MA'AM TOKYO PREMIUM" is open until September 25th at Tokyo Okashi Land, the first avenue of Tokyo Station.
This year's shop theme, which celebrates the 35th anniversary of the launch of "Country Ma'am," is "more advanced premium quality." With black as the theme color, fashionable and stylish Tokyo is expressed.
Featured product is "Country Ma'am Black". The luxurious package in black and gold is eye-catching. The price is 1,080 yen for 5 pieces (tax included, same below).
Not only the box and individual wrapping, but also the country ma'am inside is black. Chocolate chips are kneaded into chocolate bean paste made from Belgian chocolate and wrapped in a dough made from black cocoa.
Normal country ma'am also has a soft texture, but it is even more moist and has a very “raw texture”. I was a little surprised because I thought it was a cookie and ate it. It feels like it crumbles as soon as you raise your teeth, and if you compare it to Japanese sweets, it's close to manju.
The mellow sweetness of chocolate that spreads from the bean paste. Bitter black cocoa and slightly fragrant rum give it a slightly mature taste. It is also good that the large chocolate chips melt with a time lag and the chocolate flavor gradually becomes richer.
There are many other high-impact products in the lineup. Limited to 20 pieces a day, "Big Country Ma'am" is an oversized size with a diameter of about 14 cm. You can enjoy the deliciousness of freshly baked food by cutting it into pieces of your choice and warming them in a microwave oven. The price is 1,296 yen.
"Country Maam Button (Vanilla & Cocoa)" (6 pieces for 1,080 yen), which is made by adding chocolate chips to two doughs, and "Country Maam Soft Sand (Vanilla)", which is made by sandwiching white chocolate cream with vanilla cookies containing chocolate chips. (918 yen for 5 pieces) and "Country Maam Tart" (1,296 yen for 5 pieces) using chocolate chips from Ecuadorian cacao are also on sale. Premium products that can only be bought here are sure to make you happy as a souvenir.
