I tried and compared FamilyMart's "Sakura Yokan" and "Hitokuchi Sakura Daifuku" as sweets for spring cherry blossoms. It's a little early, but which is better if you want to make a cherry-blossom viewing tea contract?
The contents and selling prices of each are as follows. All notations include tax.
Sakura yokan
Sakura yokan costs 88 yen and has a calorie of 141 kcal. An easy-to-eat dish made with domestic cherry leaves.
It looks glossy black and looks like a normal kneading, but when you insert a knife and expose the cross section to light, you can see the small chopped cherry leaves slightly transparent. At first, the flavor of azuki beans and the sweetness of yokan spread when you bite, but the aftertaste has a slight scent of cherry blossoms. It has an elegant finish and is very stylish.
Hitokuchi Sakura Daifuku
Hitokuchi Sakura Daifuku costs 128 yen per set and comes in 4 pieces. One calorie is 56 kcal. A product that uses domestically produced cherry leaves for mochi and bean paste.
It looks bright cherry blossoms, and when you cut it, there is a lot of bean paste inside. This has the scent of cherry blossoms that makes you feel like you're sick from the beginning. It is finished with a sweetness with plenty of seasonality.
Yokan is a sakura flavor that you can enjoy slowly, and Daifuku is a sakura flavor that looks and tastes gorgeous. Both have their own advantages, but if you want to liven up the cherry blossom viewing mood, we recommend Daifuku. The standard Japanese tea is recommended for drinks.
