Yokumoku's Nostalgic Sweets Return: Duckwa & Blanc Mange Revived

A Sweet Nostalgia: The Return of Duckwa and Blanc Mange by Yokumoku

Yokumoku, the beloved confectionery brand known for its impressive history and dedication to quality, is reviving two iconic sweets: Duckwa and Blanc Mange. From August 8 to August 30, 2025, these classic desserts will be available exclusively at the Yokumoku Aoyama Main Store and the Blue Brick Lounge. This limited-time offer coincides with the company’s founding anniversary, promising a delightful experience for both new and longtime fans of the brand.

A Journey Back in Time

The revival of Duckwa, a half-baked confection that was all the rage in the 1980s, is a testament to Yokumoku's commitment to preserving its rich culinary heritage. The classic flavors of Mocha and Praline will make a return, accompanied by a new flavor, Pistachio, adding a modern twist to this nostalgic treat. Each Duckwa is crafted with care, combining a crispy exterior and a soft center, resulting in a delightful texture that perfectly complements the rich buttercream filling.

Yokumoku’s chefs poured their hearts into recreating these cherished recipes, making adjustments to the original methods based on the expertise of long-standing employees who remember the glory days of Duckwa. The meticulous process involved ensuring that the lightness of the meringue was achieved by skillfully handling egg whites, resulting in a fluffy texture.

- Praline: This flavor features roasted almonds' nutty aroma, freshly incorporated into the buttercream, amplifying its rich taste.
