[ Taste: 5.0 Value: 5.0 Volume: 4.0 Design: 5.0 Portability: 4.0 Shelf life: 3.0 ]

A Japanese sweet from Izushi, Hyogo, in two kinds, white and yomogi (mugwort). Inside meltingly soft gyuhi (soft rice cake) is plenty of chunky bean paste (tsubuan). It has many fans for its gentle texture and restrained sweetness.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer, who gets these from a boss returning from crab trips to Izushi, loves the melt-in-the-mouth soft rice-cake wrapper (plain and mugwort versions) around plenty of chunky bean paste. They describe a gentle texture and sweetness that eases fatigue.
