Family Mart turns tradition on its head with a new take on two well-known Japanese sweets.
daifuku
The green mermaid wants us to relax with a cup of tea and a traditional sweet in every mouthful.
A taste of home for a Japanese expat turns into a delicious regional treat in one part of Japan.
In an era of “next-level” foods, these fruit daifuku really do take it to the next level【Taste test】
So many places claim to serve “evolved” food these days, but there are some dishes that actually deserve that description!
The addition of pounded sticky rice makes this new creation taste like a traditional Japanese daifuku sweet.
Confectionary maker Suehiroan is hoping these daifuku rice cakes decorated with a four-leaf clover will provide encouragement for students taking entrance exams!
