4 Peach-Flavored Sweets to Enjoy the Taste of Fukushima

First, we'll introduce four recommended peach-flavored snacks

Momowara: The ultimate moist sable made by a popular Western confectionery shop

MomosakuFleurageconfectionery shop in Koriyama City, Fukushima PrefectureWestern-style. Fleurage is famous for its fresh pastries such as cakes and cream puffs. The display case is filled with a variety of fresh pastries, and the shop is lined with artistic items that elegantly use seasonal fruits. Baked goods and chocolates that are suitable as souvenirs or gifts are also recommended.

Momowara is a moist baked confectionery made by kneading semi-dried peaches and white chocolate into the dough. The flour and peaches used are from Fukushima Prefecture, so the flavor of Fukushima is concentrated

The glossy pink-purple packaging stands out on the shelves

When you tear open the package, you'll be greeted by the faint scent of peach

The round, pink shape is reminiscent of a peach. You can tell just by looking at it that it's moist. It's soft enough to bend slightly when you hold it between two fingers

The aroma and flavor of peach is prominent when you put it in your mouth. The sable has two layers, a crumbly outer layer that melts in your mouth, and a slightly sticky, smooth inner layer. The difference in texture when you bite into it is interesting. The white chocolate brings the whole thing together, and it's sweet, but not too sweet, giving it a refined taste. It's a treat that you'll definitely want to enjoy with tea

The whole thing is very soft, so everyone from children to seniors can eat it without worry. (Please check if you have allergies.)

They manufacture various types of commercial-grade bean paste, supporting many confectionery and bread-making professionals for years to come, including for use in manju (steamed buns), bread, and dango (rice dumplings). They also offer OEM production to meet the specific needs of artisans. Their official Instagram account features many stylish recipes using their products.

Koriyama Seian also focuses on developing unique retail products. Among them, the most popular is the "and 3 series," which sells anmitsu, zenzai, and oshiruko in stylish, modern packaging.

  • Anmitsu
  • Anmitsu Matcha
  • Zenzai (red bean paste) *Seasonal only from October to March
  • Oshiruko (smooth red bean paste) *Seasonal only available from October to March
  • Matcha Oshiruko (smooth red bean paste) *Seasonal only from October to March

The above lineup is regularly sold. All of them can be stored at room temperature, so they are usually placed in the room temperature section of the store

And now, the new item on the menu is "Peach-flavored Anmitsu."

Inside the transparent container is a bag filled with agar and fruit, as well as a bag of red bean paste. The Peach version has peach-flavored red bean paste. It also comes with a spoon and fork, so you can eat it right after opening

When poured into a plastic cup, it will be quite full. You can adjust the amount of agar syrup to your liking

The taste is a light syrup with a smooth peach bean paste that spreads softly over it, giving it a gentle sweetness. You can really tell that it's peach-flavored bean paste. The accompanying agar has a soft texture that doesn't overpower. I felt that this was an anmitsu that was designed to make the bean paste the main focus. The gentle milky flavor would surely go perfectly with vanilla ice cream. Next time, I'd definitely like to try it with some ice cream as a topping
