In the chilly winds of February, the warabi mochi specialty shop "Kamakura Sweets" is all set to bring a touch of spring to its patrons with a special event titled "Early Spring Days." From February 20 to March 22, this unique five-day event promises delectable treats; it highlights the highly anticipated re-release of the special warabi mochi packaged in a wooden box and an exclusive collection of drinks infused with strawberries and cherries.
The first highlight is the much-awaited return of the wooden box edition of Kamakura warabi mochi (Monchhichi Ver.1). This delightful product was initially featured in a lucky bag and quickly became a sensation. Many expressed their desire to purchase it individually, leading to its special re-release. As soon as you open the box, the fragrant aroma of roasted soybean flour fills the air. Inside, you will find carefully crafted Kamakura warabi mochi that boasts a delightful chewy and melting texture. This treat is perfect for gifts, or even as a special indulgence for yourself. Note that due to limited quantities, it might be sold out quickly.
Price: 1,950 yen (including tax)
Following closely is the second offering, a special warabi mochi drink packed with strawberries, which runs from February 21 to February 23. This drink, which won the grand prize at the end-of-year "Favorite Cup Idea Selection," is about to make its debut. It features an abundance of strawberries, culminating in a beautifully sweet and slightly tart beverage. Each sip not only offers the refreshing taste of strawberries but also includes a hearty serving of chewy warabi mochi, bringing together textures and flavors in a delightful experience. This limited-time offer is ideal for a weekend outing.
Price: S size 1,100 yen (including tax)
Starting from February 22, another exciting addition awaits: the strawberry chocolate warabi mochi drink. This seasonal delight combines the tartness of strawberries with the richness of chocolate. The slightly bitter chocolate envelops the strawberries, resulting in a smooth aftertaste. This drink is perfect as a post-Valentine’s gift to yourself, allowing you to indulge further in the sweet experiences offered at Kamakura.
Price: S size 830 yen (including tax)
Come February 23, two more delightful drinks will make their entrance—sakura matcha latte and sakura strawberry warabi mochi drink. These beverages capture the essence of spring with the gentle fragrance of cherry blossoms and the depth of matcha. The sakura strawberry variant adds a delightful mix of strawberry sweetness combined with the brilliance of cherry blossom. Perfect for photo opportunities, these drinks encapsulate spring’s vibrant colors, making them ideal companions for celebrations during the graduation season or leisurely walks in the park.
Prices:
S size 740 yen (including tax)
Regular size 890 yen (including tax)
And on February 24, a special initiative dubbed "Let’s Aim for the Gold Rank! Triple Points Day" will commence, in conjunction with the Winter Olympics. Customers can earn triple points for every visit during this specific period. The number of participating days will depend on Japan's tally of gold medals won, ensuring an enjoyable twist to your experience with every sip at Kamakura.
Event Period: February 24 onwards, based on Japan's gold medal count.
