lunch time. When I stopped by FamilyMart and casually looked into the chilled sweets corner, I found "My Mitarashi & Kusanko " (168 yen) released today (May 26).

… And I was surprised at the big size! What is this big! The size just sticks out of the shelf !! When I was excited by the size that I could not imagine from the photo I saw in advance information and picked up the product, it was like a big stone picked up in the riverbank. The feeling was on my right hand. Driven by a sense of mission that I have to convey this shock to everyone, I went to the cash register without hesitation while firmly holding the pack.

Excuse me, please do this!
Excuse me, please do this!

In addition, in order to compare the size with regular dumplings, Famima's chilled sweets "sweets +" brand Kusadaifuku (123 yen) and "sweets +" soy sauce-scented mitarashi dumplings (3 bottles, 138 yen) are also available. Purchased together.

When I go back to the office and compare the sizes immediately ...

My Mitarashi & grass dumplings, one by one is not comparable at all try to side-by-side with grass Tai Fook size. On the contrary, when compared with ordinary Mitarashi dango, it seems to be about four times as large.

When I weighed it, I found that it weighed about 140 grams, which was higher than my iPhone 5S (with cover charm)! You can see that it is a product that is quite satisfying to eat.

By the way, I understand the volume and the value, but I have to check the essential taste. Because it's big, if you feel any omissions, it's okay!

Let's eat

First of all, I will try Mitarashi dango. When I grabbed it, a tough stickiness far beyond my imagination struck my (writer) front teeth! What is this neatness! ... But ... But I don't hate it ...!

Rather like, this netinechi

When you press the back teeth tightly against the elasticity and stickiness of the dumpling and chew it with the mochi mochi as it is, the faint aroma and the sweetness of the soy sauce sauce spread in your mouth. The dumpling itself is slightly sweet, while the sauce is not too strong, so the balance of taste is perfect. Moreover, the sauce is a little smooth and not sticky, so it is a mitarashi dango that is very easy to eat for its size.

The taste and texture are well-balanced

On the other hand, the grass dumplings, which are topped with thick azuki beans from Hokkaido, have a taste that makes you feel the wormwood firmly every time you chew. The refreshing scent of mugwort comes out from the nose and mouth. The sweetness of the red bean paste on top is also gentle, and the delicate taste that doesn't make it a big taste because it's big. I'm relieved to eat.

Although the appearance (or size) is similar to that of Kusa Daifuku, my Kusa Dango has a completely different texture and texture than Kusa Daifuku, which can be chewed quickly. If you make a mistake, don't try to eat it in one bite like the usual (normal size) dumplings. Maybe it gets stuck in my throat.

Mochi rather than dumplings. Meals rather than snacks

In addition to the size of one Daifuku, it has tremendous elasticity and stickiness, so you will continue to chew with mogumogu for a longer time than usual, and the feeling of fullness after eating is not a hump.

If you're disappointed by the appearance and say, "Why, there are only two skewered dumplings in it ...", you'll definitely want to withdraw the previous statement if you try it! (Experiences)
