Croissant bagels are "hybrid" sweets of croissants and bagels. The moist and chewy bagels are combined with the crispy and light texture of the croissant dough and baked.

This time, two flavors, "Strawberry & Cocoa" and "Strawberry & Matcha", which are limited to the Christmas season, have appeared in this croissant bagel.

The En-eating editorial department also got a new croissant bagel right away. I tried each one!

● The deliciousness of the royal road "Strawberry & Cocoa"

It is baked by combining bagels with cocoa-flavored dough on top of strawberry-flavored dough studded with strawberry pulp and chocolate chips, and croissant dough.

The croissant dough is crispy and fragrant, and the bagel dough has a soft and chewy texture. The scent of butter is mixed with sweet and sour strawberry and melting chocolate flavor, and the rich taste spreads in your mouth.

● Slightly Japanese taste "strawberry & matcha "

The bagel is made by layering strawberry-flavored and popular matcha white chocolate-flavored dough, and is baked by combining croissant dough. The "Christmas color" woven by pale pink and green is also gorgeous and eye-catching.

Both flavors are modest in sweetness. It is finished in an adult taste that can be enjoyed not only as a snack but also for breakfast and midnight snacks.

By the way, the most delicious thing is of course "freshly baked", but even if it gets cold, if you warm it lightly with a toaster, it will return to a soft and crispy texture, so please try it.

Next to the Christmas version of the croissant bagel, the Japanese-style bagel "mochi", which is kneaded with rice flour and glutinous rice, is scheduled to be released. You can arrange it by lightly toasting it, sandwiching the bean paste, or adding soy sauce. You can expect this too!
