Indulging in the Delights of Takamura's Valentine's Treats and New Rusk Creation

Valentine's Hachiori: A Sweet Sensation

Takamura Confectionery is reigniting the sweet indulgence of its seasonal delight, the 'Valentine's Hachiori', after last year's overwhelming success. This unique treat combines the rich aroma of cocoa with the luxurious textures of chewy mochi and fruit preserves, making it a delightful addition to any Valentine’s celebration.

What exactly makes the Valentine's Hachiori so special? The mochi, or 'gyuhi', is crafted from specially sourced rice flour cultivated with care by dedicated farmers in Akita Prefecture. Infusing the gyuhi with cocoa results in a soft, cloud-like texture that melts in your mouth. Inside, the gyuhi envelops chocolate-covered strawberries and sweet fig preserves, also sourced from Akita. The marriage of the strawberries' tangy notes and the figs' concentrated sweetness pairs harmoniously with the soft cocoa mochi.

For just 700 yen (tax included), the Valentine's Hachiori offers a delightful explosion of flavors and textures that are perfect for the season. It captures the essence of spring and romance and makes for a thoughtful gift or self-treat for anyone looking to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

'Nama Rusk': An Innovative Take on a Classic

Expanding their offering, Takamura Confectionery proudly presents their unique 'Nama Rusk', a delightful twist on the traditional rusk. Unlike standard hard rusk snacks, 'Nama Rusk' features a soft version, made from a moist pound cake that is meticulously baked to achieve a light and crispy yet tender texture. This innovative product sets itself apart by delivering a gentle bite, allowing for an enhanced tasting experience without the crunch commonly associated with rusk.

Available in eight different flavors, each variety highlights different ingredients, ensuring that there's something for everyone. What's more, Takamura has even included several flavors that do not use chocolate, making them perfect gifts for those who might not prefer the rich treat. With prices starting at 450 yen (excluding tax) for individual pieces and gift sets priced at 3,500 yen for eight pieces or 6,800 yen for sixteen pieces, these rusks offer a flexible gifting option for various occasions.
