A refreshingly sweet and pleasant sweet treat
I took out a mizu-manju from the package. It is a cute pink color.
The transparent dough made of kudzu flour is filled with cream, giving it a very cool appearance.
Here is the cross section.
The pink cream was filled with a bright red sauce.
The chunky & puffy dough is very soft and has a hint of sweetness. The sweetness of the fluffy strawberry cream is a perfect combination with the sweet and sour rich strawberry sauce.
It looks and tastes cool and refreshing, and is truly a refreshing summer treat. This is perfect for this season!
