Summer Collection Items:
【Green Tea Tokoroten】:The crystal clear aqua outer shell of this treat is like the vastness of the ocean. Gelatin powder, sugar, and agar are boiled then added with green tea powder and white bean paste, then placed in the refrigerator when it has cooled to 45 degrees. In the summer, the Japanese like to increase the water content and decrease the amount of kanten used to give it a lighter, more refreshing taste. NT$40 each.
【Pomelo Doumyoji】To increase the softness of the outer layer, chefs first soak the doumyoji powder in water for 30 minutes and then steam. Sugar and pomelo peel are then added and the mixture is left to sit overnight. Afterwards, the tender and light gold colored outer layer is filled with a refreshing red bean and pomelo filling The light pomelo flavors are a perfect balance to the sweet red bean, and a perfect companion to a nice summer day. NT$42 each.
【Mango Daifuku】:With a slightly sweet outer layer made from mochi flour, the inside filling is loaded with freshly dried mango, mango paste, and white bean paste, creating a more than satisfying summertime delight. NT$38 each.
