Summer, when you miss the refreshing sweetness rather than the rich cake. "Mizumanju", which is perfect for snacks on hot days, is on sale from the Japanese sweets shop Kasugai Yoshino.
◆ Mizumanju
・ Azuki The transparent water manju is cool to the eyes. It melts with Tron with a cool texture, and the smooth bean paste inside has a baton touch. We will spread the rich flavor of azuki beans. It's sweet, but it's not too harsh. The price is 162 yen (tax included, same below).
・ Matcha The astringent green mizu manju has an impressive refreshing taste. The best balance is achieved between the crisp outside and the rich sweetness of the red bean paste. The price is 162 yen.
◆ Water confectionery (mizu manju x fruit)
Summer Japanese sweets made with carefully selected fruit bean paste. It is finished in the image of a jewel.
・ Apple A yellow color that pops. I feel a faint acidity in the fresh sweetness. An accent with a nice crispy texture of apples. The price is 200 yen.
・ Mango Vivid orange color. The melting mouthfeel of the mizu manju and the rich sweetness of the mango go well together. It feels like eating the pulp as it is. The price is 220 yen.
・ Strawberry A cute pastel pink color. The sweetness of mellow strawberries spreads throughout your mouth. The price is 200 yen.
・ Melon A green color that looks just like melon pulp. The mellow scent gently escapes from your nose. A refreshing but rich taste. The price is 200 yen.
Summer-like Japanese sweets that are cool to the eyes and tongue. Kin and cold green tea or barley tea seem to go well together.
