Did you know that innovative Japanese sweets are sold at the long-established Japanese sweets store "Taneya", which has a history of more than 100 years?

Its name is "Olive Daifuku" . Is this Italian or Japanese sweets ... The author foresaw a tremendous chemical reaction. I was just looking for a souvenir for my acquaintance, so I decided to buy it for tasting.

Speaking of Taneya, "Fukumi Tenpei", which has delicious chewy bean paste with fertilizer, is also famous, but today I bought Olive Daifuku. It costs 945 yen for 6 pieces.

There is a red sticker with "FRAGILE" on the net-like package that looks like a Tanabata decoration. No way English, and Daifuku says "broken things" ... It's already full of tsukkomi.

When you open the inside, you will see 6 bite-sized Daifuku. And in the center ... there is a small bottle like cosmetics!

According to the leaflet included, the bottle is actually "extra virgin olive oil" from CMV in central Italy. It is said that the vivid emerald green is maintained by a special manufacturing method that freezes at -25 degrees immediately after oil extraction. Indeed, olive daifuku is a daifuku that you can enjoy with special olive oil.

I watched it to my heart's content, so I'll finally eat it.

When you apply oil to pure white Daifuku, the emerald green shines and it is extremely beautiful! !! It looks like a large jewel. At the same time, the fresh scent of olives spreads out. Is olive oil so fragrant ...! By the way, how is it compatible with Daifuku?

The inside is smooth bean paste

After the first fruity scent, a slightly salty rice cake and a mildly sweet bean paste mix in the mouth, giving the impression of a new sensation of "Japanese sweets." Eating with olive oil makes the texture smoother and the taste of bean paste is richer. Daifuku and olive oil didn't insist on each other so much, so there was a sense of unity more than I had imagined.

But this oil is amazing. Although it has a rich richness, it is fresh and has no oiliness at all, reminding me that olives are fruits. Unintentionally, I scooped up the olive oil left on the plate and drank it. I want to "follow olives" like Mokomichi, but the inside of the small bottle is only 10 ml ... It seems that Taneya also sells only olive oil for such people.

The "Daifuku Revolution" proposed by a long-established Japanese confectionery store. Above all, I would like you to share the moment when pure white Daifuku turns into bright emerald green with the people around you, so it is recommended for souvenirs and places where people gather!
