What is the famous Sendai confectionery "Haginotsuki"?

"Hagino Tsuki" is a confectionery that has been sold since 1979 by Kasho Sanzen, a

The "Hagi no Tsuki" is said to be modeled after "a beautiful moon floating in the sky over Miyagino, where bush clover blossoms in abundance," and looks exactly like a full moon

Hagino Tsuki, which is made with original custard cream wrapped in fluffy castella cake, is popular nationwide and has become one of Sendai's standard souvenirs, ranking third in a survey of ``representative souvenirs of the 20th century.''

The company is also famous as a pioneer in using Ageless, an oxygen absorber that can extend the shelf life of food

Chocolate flavored version of Hagi no Tsuki "Haginoshirabe"

A sister product of "Hagino Tsuki," this confectionery is an original chocolate custard cream wrapped in chocolate-flavored castella cake. It was first sold in Miyagi Prefecture in 1990, and production and sales were suspended in 2011

It's true that in the past I often compared it with Hagino Tsuki

As a child, I thought the chocolate-flavored Haginocho was tastier, and I remember my siblings and other relatives' children fighting over it..

It will be re-released for a limited time starting in 2021

I bought it right away and tried it for the first time in a while!

I tried it for the first time in over ten years! I also bought some Hagino Tsuki to compare the flavors

The chocolate-flavored castella cake of Haginocho has the same light texture as Hagino Tsuki, and the chocolate custard cream inside is somehow nostalgic! It reminds me of the ones I ate as a child. It's fluffy and smooth

You can eat as many as you want as they are all gone in no time... but be careful not to eat too many as each one has 169 calories

The Hagino Tsuki is also consistently delicious and very satisfying. I used to dislike Hagino Tsuki a little, but now I find the custard cream with its egg flavor very delicious. Each piece is 147kcal

This is just my personal opinion,

Hagino Tsuki is a sweet for adults, while Hagino Chou is popular with children. I wonder if that's how it is? Whether it's been a while or it's your first time, why not take this opportunity to try them?
