Homemade apricot yokan and wasanbon mousse Japanese parfait
Have you eaten Japanese Parfait yet?

Do you know "Homemade Yokan and Wasanbon Mousse Japanese Parfait" (431 yen including tax) sold at Seijo Ishii? I discovered it at a store in Tokyo the other day, and when I was attracted to the pop of "new products" and bought it and ate it, I would like to introduce it because it was insanely delicious with a unique combination of ingredients. If you see it, please try it!

◆ Oh, in Japanese materials ...

As you can see from the raw material label, there are many materials!

First of all, the bottom is Wasanbon mousse. Large brown sugar jelly is mixed here and topped with homemade apricot yokan, bean paste, habutae mochi, and apricots.

If you look closely, you can see that "something" is gently added between the jelly-filled mousse and the Japanese material topping ... Can you see from the photo?

It ’s the fluffy middle one.

Since it is a parfait where "Japanese ingredients" such as brown sugar, Wasanbon, and yokan are gathered together, wouldn't you normally want to put something with matcha flavor here? But it's different. I put biscuits soaked in coffee! This is my biggest hit point !!

The other day, I told you that coffee and Japanese sweets are scientifically proven to be compatible, but considering that, this combination of Japanese parfait also makes sense.

◆ Wasanbon mousse is messed up!

The reason for its deliciousness is the Wasanbon mousse. In the fragrant sweetness of Wasanbon sugar, there is a richness like custard cream. And a rich texture that melts.

The bittersweetness and roasted flavor of coffee soaked in biscuits blend into this, creating a very tasty harmony. It's delicious even if you put a little bean paste on it.

If you eat apricots when the soft Japanese sweetness fills your mouth, the savory apricots will accentuate your mouth and invite you to the next bite.

Refreshing with apricots

◆ There are many elements of chewy

Another reason for the deliciousness is that many of them have a chewy texture as a whole.

In addition to the thick apricot yokan and habutae mochi with mochi mochi, the chewy texture of brown sugar jelly and Wasanbon mousse makes it an irresistible collection of chewy textures. I will.

One cup is relatively voluminous, but it's more chewy, so it's even more satisfying to eat. When you finish eating, you will feel quite full.

◆ If you say only one thing ...

It's an insanely delicious Japanese parfait, but if I had to say one thing, maybe I wanted to add more Wasanbon mousse because I could reduce the brown sugar jelly a little. It's really delicious, this Wasanbon mousse.

Anyway, the other elements are (of course) delicious, so if you like Japanese sweets, there is no loss in eating!
