This time, I found it at Sunkus. I was on the shelf of chilled sweets with a face that I didn't eat, so I think it's treated as sweets, but it's salty, isn't it? Is this really a sweet? Anyway, I decided to eat it with my heart empty.

According to the product description, this is a cream with Camembert cheese wrapped in mochi and wrapped with seaweed. It is seasoned with soy sauce.

I expected the cream with Camembert cheese inside to be sweet, but it wasn't sweet because of the rich and umami cheese taste. Rather, it has a slightly smoky scent just because it is "smoked", so it seems to go crazy with beer and wine.

It is sold as "Japanese namagashi", but you may regret buying it when you say "I want to eat sweets!". On the contrary, when you want a salty snack or a snack of sake, you will be able to fully demonstrate its power. If you like mochi, this is a dish that you should definitely try.
