Hello!

Today, I will introduce you to the exquisite Japanese sweets shop in the “Sakai” area in the Kansai / South Osaka area.

Kansai / Osaka long-established Japanese confectionery shop menu

There are only two menus in the store called “Kanbukuro”. Kansai fans gather to eat just that two menus!

“Kanbukuro” has a history of over 700 years in Kansai / Osaka, and still preserves the old taste in Kansai / Osaka.

However, since it has not been advertised greatly, it is popular as a hidden super store in Kansai.

The two menus I mentioned earlier are “Kurumi-mochi” and “Ice Kurumi”.

“Kurumi-mochi” is a paste made of green soybeans and “wrapped(=Kurumi)” white balls, so it was called “Kurumi-mochi”.

The pure white mochi has an exquisite and crisp texture and softness, and its throat. There is also a firm crunch. The glossy green paste is smooth, but it is not persistent and has a refreshing taste.
Anyway, it is super delicious! !

The aftertaste is very good, the thickness and sweetness of the paste, everything is in a good balance. It seems that you can continue to eat as many as you like without getting tired of eating.

The price is 360 yen for singles and 720 yen for doubles.
