Sanmankoku "Chocolate Mama Door"

, a famous confectionary from Sanmangoku, is one of Fukushima's most representative sweetsMamadoru. The product name means "a baby drinking milk" in Spanish. If you hear "Mama, mama, mamadoru~" and answer "It's like mom's milk, full of flavor," you've probably lived in Fukushima Prefecture before. People from Fukushima may forget their school songs from their student days, but they may never forget the Mamadoru commercial jingle.

Now, the familiar Mamadoru comes in yellow wrapping paper. This one contains milk-flavored bean paste. On the other hand, among the Mamadoru products, there is also a product called "Choco Mamadoru" which comes in dark brown wrapping paper. Choco Mamadoru has a cocoa-flavored dough and is filled with chocolate-flavored bean paste. It is sold from October to May. Although it is a limited edition, it is sold for half a year, so it is a familiar treat for the people of Fukushima Prefecture.

By the way, from my personal experience, it seems like there are about the same number of people who prefer plain Mamadoru and chocolate Mamadoru. There is also a set that contains half Mamadoru and half chocolate Mamadoru. Please try comparing them
