Tokyo 東京: Kakuozan Furutsu Daifuku Benzaiten || Ginza SIX

Kakuozan Fruits Daifuku Benzaiten is founded in the neighbourhood of Kakuozan, Nagoya. Nagoya is the origin where it gained popularity for its premium, aesthetically stunning pillowy soft fruit-filled mochi. It also has multiple locations across Tokyo and Osaka. 
The Daifuku is wrapped with soft, thin and chewy skin, together with lightly sweetened white bean paste and seasonal premium whole fruits. The fruits are delivered fresh daily from the market and different types of fruits will be send depending on the seasons. 

The signature Daifuku is always the strawberry but they do have seasonal fruits like shine muscat, persimmons, kiwi, mikan, mango, watermelon and etc. Each Daifuku is wrapped individually for easy handling and perfect as gift-boxed too. Additionally, every gift box comes with a string to slice the Daifuku into half, making it easier to share. 

Strawberry Daifuku

Setoka Orange Daifuku
Setoka is a seedless and highly sweet Japanese Orange variety that is developed by the National Agricultural and Food Research Organization. It has excellence rich aroma, flavour, juiciness and vibrant colour from the mixing variety of Kiyomi with Encore and Murcott. 
They do have the peanuts and sesame-filled version mochi that stole my heart too. Encased in a chewy mochi skin and generously rolled in crushed peanuts, the texture offers a perfect, nutty crunch. It's wonderfully aromatic and easily be one of my all-time favourite mochi. So good! Definitely a big must for me to get it back home every time when I came across with it. Super addictive. The peanuts/sesame fillings are not too sweet to my liking too. 

ごちそうさまでした. Thank you for the foods! It is definitely a little sweet treat to enjoy after a long day out visiting in Japan. Also, both Daifuku and peanut/sesame mochi are definitely perfect to bring home as a gift/souvenir !
