This is a Chinese steamed bun with the image of "Sakuramochi". Based on the steamed bun, the dough is arranged in pink, and the inside is arranged in "Sakura-an". In addition, there are three layers of soft rice cake wrapped in the cherry bean paste.

It looks like a little Japanese sweet!

When you divide it in half, mochi appears from the tightly packed bean paste. It grows well.

When you cheek, the elegant sweetness of the bean paste spreads, and the scent of the cherry leaves is softly removed. It is slightly salty and the taste of Sakuramochi is beautifully reproduced. The mochi is thick and sticky, and has a mochi-mochi texture!

Compared to the 7-ELEVEN Sakura steamed bun that was released a while ago, the amount of red bean paste is a little smaller? I felt that, but there is plenty of mochi so there is volume. The chewy texture of the dough and the chewy texture of the mochi made it very satisfying.

By the way, FamilyMart's Sakura steamed bun , which was also sold in 2015, was wrapped in rice cake last time, but this time it's the opposite. The mochi is wrapped in red bean paste. Even those who ate last year should enjoy the minor changes.
