↑Kanto style

There are two types, Kanto style and Kansai style.
Kanto style is a crepe-shaped rice cake made by wrapping bean paste with a roasted skin such as wheat flour.
The Kansai style is a manju-shaped rice cake made from glutinous rice called Domyoji powder and wrapped in bean paste, and has a crushed texture.

In both cases, the skin is colored pink with food coloring,
It is also wrapped in salted cherry leaves
Just looking at it makes you imagine cherry blossoms

When you open the seal, you can smell the nice scent of cherry blossom leaves.
You can feel spring just with this scent
There are a lot of red bean paste inside

Ishikawa Prefecture has a lot of Kanto style
Kansai style is also on sale.

This time, I got Sakuramochi from Shibafune Koide.
162 yen per piece
One of the attractions of Kanazawa's Japanese sweets is that you can buy them at a reasonable price.
Japanese sweets don't last long, so let's eat them on the day you buy them.

Even if the expiration date is tomorrow or the next day, the mochi and dough will harden, so it is recommended to eat it that day.

Kanazawa Station sells many souvenirs that will last for a long time
It is recommended to purchase at the food department of a department store near the tourist spot.

The taste is different depending on the shop, so it is recommended to try and compare them.
