"Kinako Mochi Ice Bar" was released on October 20th exclusively for FamilyMart. This is an ice cream that reproduces the taste of the popular Tyrolean chocolate flavor "kinako mochi" that first appeared last year. Like the Kinako Mochi of Tyrolean chocolate, the package is based on orange and has the character of Mochi (?) Drawn on it.

The raw material has the word "mochi sauce". Does this play the role of "mochi gummy" in Tyrolean chocolate kinako mochi? I was worried about the reproducibility of the taste and texture, so I decided to give it a try.

When you take it out of the package, the scent of soybean flour is fluffy. The body color is a slightly darker kinako color than the original kinako mochi.

While many bar ice creams are long and thin, this is a short and wide type. Did you get closer to the square Tyrolean chocolate?

Looking at the cut section, the translucent mochi sauce is wrapped in kinako ice cream and coated with kinako chocolate. Something like soybean flour on ice cream.

Kinako chocolate with a crispy texture and milky and smooth kinako ice cream. It is a double kinako, and the flavor is quite fragrant.

The mochi sauce in the ice cream is a little soft, but it has exactly the same texture as the original mochi gummy! The difference is that when you put it on your tongue, it melts without chewing and disappears. You can enjoy a mysterious texture that is chewy but disappears smoothly.

In addition, the ratio of chocolate in the total amount has decreased, and the ice cream is refreshing, so the impression is that the sweetness is modest compared to the original family. You can enjoy the taste of this soybean flour, so not only those who like Tyrolean chocolate kinako mochi but also those who like kinako should definitely try it!
