In this season, the basement of the department store is brilliant with colorful sweets such as fruit jelly and yokan. Just walking around and looking at it will brighten your feelings. Among the gems lined up, I would like to introduce one that caught my eye, "Wow, what is this?"


Kindama-kan called "Ryoka Sasaragata" by Ryoguchiya Korekiyo, a candy store. It is made from agar, fruit juice and sugar. There are four types of lineup: "watermelon", "lemon", "white peach", and "pineapple". This time, I bought a set of 5 (1,300 yen plus tax) in a beautiful emerald green box. Let's taste two of them, "watermelon" and "lemon".









"Lemon", which has an impressive glossy yellow and yellow-green color, has the best balance of sweetness and freshness. The smooth layer and the rough layer overlap, and you can enjoy a crisp taste. A nostalgic taste that reminds me of the lemonade I drank when I was a kid. It has no habit, so it seems to be liked by people of all ages.



"Watermelon", which has a beautiful bright red color, skillfully expresses both green skin and black seeds. In addition to the simple sweetness of watermelon, you can also feel a little green odor. I'm not good at the rough texture of real watermelon, but this "watermelon" is easy to eat. I want a well-chilled barley tea to accompany me. I was impressed with the authentic taste of "Ryoka Sasaragata" that does not betray its appearance!



"Ryo Natsu Sasaragata" will be on sale until the end of August. It was sold separately and the price was 240 yen (excluding tax). It's a waste of beauty to eat alone, so why not choose it as a souvenir for your family and friends, or as a souvenir for your summer homecoming? It's fun to buy all four types and eat and compare them together.
