Ichigo daifuku is a kind of Japanese confection consisting of a strawberry inside 'daifuku', which is a rice cake stuffed with sweet bean paste. We can buy it from December around May when strawberries are in season. Sweetness of bean jam matches the acidity of the strawberry well. when strawberries are in season.
This strawberry is length of around 5 centimeters. I bought this at Tomiokaya in Mishima city.
Daifuku is a soft rice cake stuffed with sweetened bean jam. And it is a Japanese sweet representing the Edo era.
This is a special Daifuku for summer, "Hiyashi Daifuku". The texture is soft and melts away. This is a novel because agar is mixed.
My grandmother likes this very much.
