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)
