"Croissant Taiyaki" is a sweet made by collaboration of Japanese "Taiyaki" and Western "Croissant". Because it is easy to eat with one hand, it is a very popular dessert as a snack to eat when you are hungry.

Now, this croissant taiyaki has a limited-time flavor "Hokkaido Melon Cream" (250 yen / tax included).

I (the author) eat croissant taiyaki after warming it in the oven, but I think the melon cream this time is delicious when eaten chilled. It's not like early summer! I was curious, so I decided to try it.

In the croissant dough, there is plenty of orange melon cream that combines Hokkaido melon and fresh cream! It seems that Hokkaido melon is also used for the dough.

When I grabbed a bite ... At that moment, the refreshing scent of melon and the fresh sweetness spread all over my mouth ... The beautiful scenery of Hokkaido that I had traveled to ran through my mind like a magic lantern! What a solid melon taste you have ...!

In contrast to the crispy croissant dough and the crunchy texture, the melon cream that embraces the air is "fluffy" and has a gentle mouthfeel. Even if it is chilled, the dough does not become hard, and on the contrary, the cream is chilled, which further enhances the " feeling of eating (real) melon"! It wasn't too sweet, so the male staff also said, "You can eat as much as you want."

By the way, the grain is not sprinkled on the whole dough, but is topped on only one side, so it doesn't have to be too sweet and the texture doesn't have to be too grainy. That was a digression.
