YUZU KUZUMOCHI (traditional jelly)

Interior Content: 130g(4.59 oz)

KUZUMOCHI traditional jelly is one of the most popular and classic confections in Japan. You will be pleased with the premium harmony of the unique texture of KUZUMOCHI jelly, the exquisite sourness of YUZU citrus, and the subtle sweetness of KUROMITSU syrup.

KUZUMOCHI jelly is traditionally made from KUZU, a plant known as devil's tongue in English. KUZU has been used in traditional medicine and is now quite precious. The unique texture similar to western jelly has been appreciated for generations through the ages in Japan. We use KUZU grown in the Yoshino region in Nara prefecture, which is known throughout Japan as the best quality KUZU.

When you first taste this YUZU KUZUMOCHI, you will experience the sour aroma of YUZU citrus, followed by an exquisite and comfortably bitter finish. KUROMITSU syrup is made from unrefined sugar. The subtle unique sweetness of KUROMITSU syrup is essential for traditional Japanese confections. Please baste the KUROMITSU syrup onto the KUZUMOCHI just before eating.

We recommend comparing YUZU KUZUMOCHI with and without the KUROMITSU syrup. Without the KUROMITSU syrup, you can enjoy the YUZU citrus flavor itself, along with the exquisite sourness and comfortable bitterness. With the addition of KUROMITSU syrup, you will taste the gentle KUZUMOCHI sweetness at first bite, followed by an exquisite YUZU citrus finish.

To serve, cut this YUZU KUZUMOCHI into 4 to 12 pieces.

In the summer season, cooling KUZUMOCHI jelly in the refrigerator for a short time just before eating will intensify the flavor. Would you try the premium combination of the unique texture of Japanese traditional jelly and the subtle unique flavor of YUZU and KUROMITSU?
