"Kitano Ace" is a gourmet supermarket that handles rare foods from Japan and overseas. If you go to the store often, you may be looking forward to the products that arrive irregularly.

One of them is "Anshoku" sold by the long-established bakery "Tommy's" in Kobe. If you like red bean paste, you can imagine that it is a bread that is made by mixing "grain bean paste" made from Hokkaido azuki beans with bread dough containing fresh cream.

You can buy it on Tommy's official mail order, but when I thought that the shipping fee was wasteful, I finally got a chance!


The size is 1.5 loaves and the price at the store is 750 yen (excluding tax). It weighs about 1 kg, but is there such a nice weight ...?



You can eat it as it is, but I recommend toast. The surface is crispy and the inside is fluffy, and if you put butter on it while it is hot, the sweetness and saltiness of the bean paste will be entwined to make a rich Ogura toast.



The bread itself isn't that sweet, but it's packed with red bean paste, so it's more satisfying than regular bread. If you can't eat it, you can freeze it, so if you see it, please buy it! I'm looking forward to seeing you again, so I'll go to the store.
