Thank you for your hard work today, everyone. Whether you have the day off tomorrow or not, don't you sometimes feel like staying up late and enjoying something sweet?
Watching a sweet love story is good, or pampering your partner is good. You can also enjoy a hot cocktail with a sweet liqueur, and although they're often said to be the enemy of dieting,...sweet desserts are a great way to enjoy yourself every once in a while.
Suzukake "Strawberry Daifuku" 324 yen including tax *Only available in winter
In the January [EDITOR'S BLOG], we bring you something "new" discovered by our editorial team. This week, we'll be writing about our favorite strawberry daifuku from Suzukake, a seasonal winter sweet that's the "first of the season."
Suzukake is a renowned Japanese confectionery shop that has been in business for around 90 years, using fresh Kyushu ingredients from every season and the skilled craftsmanship of its artisans. The flagship store is located in Hakata, Fukuoka City. I often visit the store in Isetan Shinjuku, Tokyo, where there's always a line. It's not just the strawberry daifuku, but also the bell-shaped baked sweets called "Suzu" filled with bean paste, and the manju (steamed buns) that seem popular. Many confectionery shops sell strawberry daifuku at this time of year, but my favorite is Suzukake's. The thin gyuhi (rice cake) that feels like it'll get crushed if you don't touch it gently, the smooth bean paste, and the strawberries. The sweetness, texture, and size all combine to create the perfect balance for me. If I had to choose my favorite strawberry daifuku, it would be Suzukake.
Zooming in on the cut surface. Juicy strawberry pulp, smooth red bean paste, and thin, delicate gyuhi. A special treat only available in winter.
And when you enjoy Suzukake's strawberry daifuku, if you like, try gently and carefully splitting it in half with a dessert knife and peering inside. It's thrillingly beautiful, like a jewel in the world of Japanese sweets. Be careful not to twist the gyuhi unless you support it gently and gently when cutting.
Of course it's good to bite into it directly, but if you cut it in half and eat it in one bite, you might be able to enjoy the strawberry juice without spilling it. Be sure to give it a try.
Suzukake's official website is also very nice, so if you're interested, be sure to check out the product introduction page along with the store information.
