A cross section of a zunda mochi. It's packed with a generous amount of zunda paste. The texture of the beans is firm and the zunda flavor is amazing

They're bite-sized and easy to eat, and they're filling and incredibly satisfying. However, because they're so densely packed with bean paste, you might want to drink a little water.

summary

The two products are almost identical, from package size to price range. I thought there would be almost no difference, but there were quite a few differences

This is purely my personal opinion, but if you want to enjoy the perfect balance between the texture of mochi and the flavor of zunda, then "Zunda Saryo" is the place to go. If you're watching your calories but want to "fill your mouth with the flavor of zunda," then "Kikusuian" is the place to go. There are only slight differences, but each has its own distinct character and both were delicious.

The four-pack is reasonably priced and the packaging is cute, so I think it would be a perfect souvenir to give out to lots of people. If you're having trouble finding a souvenir from Sendai, this is definitely one to consider!
