If you miss buying peaches, you can also choose ``peach flavor''!
Peaches are famous as a specialty of Fukushima, but since they are a seasonal flavor, many people may not be able to buy them.
The peach season differs depending on the variety, with the earliest varieties such as `` Hatsuhime '' beginning to be shipped in late June, and those that appear more slowly such as `` Yumekaori '' that can be seen until late September. As a side note, at Fruit Kingdom Fukushima, grapes and pears start appearing around the end of the peach season, as if picking up a baton, and these are also delicious, so we recommend them.

4 selections of peach-flavored sweets that give you a taste of Fukushima
First, we will introduce four recommended "peach flavor" sweets.
``Momo Sho'', the ultimate moist sable made by a popular Western confectionery shop
`` Momosaku '' is a soft sable produced and sold by Fleurage Fleurage is famous for its fresh sweets such as cakes and cream puffs. The showcase is full of unique fresh sweets, and there are artistic items made with elegantly crafted seasonal fruits. We also recommend baked goods and chocolates that make great souvenirs and gifts.
Momo Sho is a moist baked confectionery made by kneading semi-dried peach fruits and white raw chocolate into the dough. The flour and peaches used are carefully sourced from Fukushima Prefecture, and the flavor of Fukushima is concentrated.
The pink-purple glossy packaging is eye-catching on the sales floor.
When you open the package, you can smell the soft scent of peaches.
The pink round shape is reminiscent of a peach. And you can tell just by looking at it that it feels moist. It's so soft that it bends a little when you hold it between two fingers.
When you put it in your mouth, you will notice the aroma and taste of peach. The sable has two layers: the outer layer is crumbly and melts in your mouth, and the inner layer is slightly sticky and smooth. It's interesting to see the difference in texture when you stuff your cheeks. The white chocolate brings the whole thing together, and it's sweet, but not too sweet. It was a sweet that I would definitely like to enjoy with tea.
The entire dish is very soft, so everyone from children to seniors can eat it without worrying. (*Please check if you have allergies)

When poured into a plastic cup, it is quite full. You may want to adjust the amount of agar syrup according to your preference.
As for the taste, the smooth syrup spreads with the smooth peach paste, giving it a slightly mild sweetness. You can clearly feel that it is a peach flavored red bean paste. The agar that comes with it has a nice, soft texture that isn't overpowering. I felt that this was an anmitsu that was designed with Anko as the main character. The milky and gentle atmosphere is sure to go perfectly with vanilla ice cream. Next time, I would like to prepare ice cream for topping and eat it.
