Sanmankoku "Chocolate Mama Door"

Sanmangoku "Mamadooru" is one of Fukushima's most famous sweets . The product name means "milk-drinking child" in Spanish. If you heard "Mama Mama Mamadoru" and answered "It tastes like mommy's milk," you probably have lived in Fukushima Prefecture. Residents of Fukushima Prefecture may forget the school song from their school days, but they may never forget the Mamadoru commercial song.

Well, the familiar Mamadoru comes in a yellow wrapper. It is filled with milk-flavored bean paste. However, there is also a Mamadoru product called " Chocolate Mamadoru " that is wrapped in a dark brown wrapper. Chocolate Mamadoru is made of 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 six months, so it is a familiar sweet to 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
