This is a bread dough with coffee extract added, and it is a Western-style anpan that is baked by wrapping "coffee bean paste" with coffee extract added to azuki beans from Hokkaido. It seems that it is finished by injecting whipped cream at the end.
I've never eaten coffee-flavored anpan! I was curious about the taste, so I bought it right away.
Coffee anpan has a colon-like shape with a diameter of about 10 cm. It has a tan-like brown color, and the "navel" on the top is topped with chocolate in the shape of coffee beans.
When I cut it in half and looked inside, it was packed tightly in a marble shape with black coffee bean paste and white whipped cream folded over. In addition, the cross section of the dough is slightly brownish because it contains coffee extract.
The dough is not greasy and has a fluffy mouthfeel, with a light taste like blancpain. There is plenty of moist bean paste inside, so this simplicity is a good balance. When chewed, the scent of coffee is faint.
When you put coffee bean paste on your tongue, you will feel the elegant sweetness of azuki beans at that moment. However, as I roll it, the aroma of coffee begins to ooze out from the back.
This sweet and bitter coffee bean paste mixes with milky whipped cream in your mouth and exquisite amber, and finishes with a mellow latte-like taste. By the way, the chocolate on the navel is also coffee-flavored. Even though I used sweet ingredients such as red bean paste, whipped cream, and chocolate, I was fascinated by the fact that it wasn't too sweet as a whole. Moreover, this one calorie is 209 kcal, which is lower than I expected! Thank you ~.
Coffee anpan that is perfect for breakfast and snacks. When you use Lawson's Machi Cafe, be sure to bring coffee with you!
