● I bought it and tried it

I finally got the ska fin that I've always been interested in at the eating editorial department! This time, I decided to try three flavors (297 yen each including tax) containing the sauces of "Rubus", "Raisin Blueberry", and "Marmalade".

It seems that you can eat it more deliciously if you warm it with an oven toaster, so I tried it immediately.

Warm it for a couple of minutes and then eat it to make the surface crispy ! This is exactly the texture and aroma of scones. And the dough inside is moist and fluffy, and the scent of flour and butter spreads in your mouth every time you chew ... It feels like you are enjoying English afternoon tea!

"Rubus" is sweet and sour and is a beloved flavor that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. "Raisin blueberry" is an adult taste that is not too sweet, with raisins studded in the dough in addition to the blueberry sauce.

Among them, I especially liked "Marmalade", which had the strongest contrast between the taste of the dough and the sauce. The refreshing sweetness, sourness and bitterness of citrus further enhanced the deliciousness of the scavenging dough!

"Marmalade" where sweetness, sourness, and bitterness are intertwined in a well-balanced manner.
