Meanwhile, I would like to introduce the ice cream I found at Sunkus somewhere in Tokyo because it was delicious if I had to eat it. It is "Ajiwai Oimo Monaka" sold by Marunaga Confectionery! The price was 140 yen.
Among the ice creams are sweet potatoes from Kagoshima prefecture. A combination of sweet potato paste and sweet potato ice cream is sandwiched between monaka skins. By the way, on the ingredient label on the back of the package, the word "Sweet potato bean paste" is on the top. In other words, the most commonly used sweet potato is bean paste ...! The heart of potato lovers is throbbing.
When I opened the package, I saw some ice cream that looked just like grilled ice cream. Not only its shape, but also the color of the skin dyed in pink and the texture of the uneven surface are similar to the real taste!
When I cut it and look at the cross section, the sweet potato, ice cream, and sweet potato bean paste are tightly packed in the monaka skin at a ratio of about 3: 1.
When you bite into it, the skin of the monaka is not crispy and has a dry texture, but is moist and fluffy . The softness is not only like the skin of a real sweet potato, but also a slight sweet potato and flavor!
The sweet potato ice cream inside is simple, crisp and refreshing. On the other hand, sweet potato bean paste is so rich that it gets entwined with the tongue, and has a sweetness like honey. The two mix in a perfect balance, giving off a savory taste that fills your mouth. It's supposed to be cold ice cream, but it's like eating warm chestnuts.
Also, as the ice cream gradually melts, the soaked monaka skin becomes softer and softer. This is the second time to eat when it becomes more and more genuine!
I wonder when I've eaten such delicious ice cream in this price range. You can eat it every day without joking, this. That's why I decided to make this child the No. 1 ice cream of this season for eating! Freshly baked hot taste is good, but cold taste that you eat in a warm room is also good.
