I tried 7-ELEVEN's cup dessert "Hojicha Tailored Mitarashi Dango Parfait". A dish that goes perfectly with soft dumplings with mitarashi bean paste, crispy sweet potatoes, and roasted green tea jelly.
It is made as a sweet and sour sweet that you eat with mitarashi dumplings and whipped cream or mousse. The top is decorated with white whipped cream, white dumplings, red bean paste, and cut golden sweet potatoes, giving it an appetizing look.
The dumplings with mitarashi bean paste and whipped cream have elasticity and softness reminiscent of white balls, and although they have a slight salty taste, the fluffy sweetness comes out to the front, and you can feel the sweetness. The sweet potatoes that come with it have a very nice texture and give the impression of an unusual fruit. It was a bit of a surprise for me to be accustomed to the chewy texture.
As you continue to eat, a glossy dark brown roasted green tea jelly will appear from the bottom. Here, the smooth texture, elegant sweetness, and above all, the strong aroma of tea spreads in your mouth. With a refreshing aftertaste, the contrast of taste with whipped cream and mitarashi bean paste is vivid.
Japanese tea is recommended if you want to combine drinks. Not only roasted green tea, but also refreshing green tea is familiar. The calorie of each parfait is 241 kcal. The selling price is 300 yen (tax included).
