Nichirei's "Imagawayaki", a big staple in the frozen food corner, is one of my favorite snacks. Next to that Imagawayaki, there was an unfamiliar product, so I tried it.


"Imagawayaki (cream cheese)" is a spring-summer limited product that is filled with Hokkaido cream cheese instead of azuki bean. The price at the time of purchase is 358 yen (excluding tax) for 5 pieces.

It is recommended to heat each piece in a microwave oven (600W) for about 20 seconds and eat it in a half-thawed state. It takes a little time, but it can be defrosted naturally.


The center is still cold when taken out, and the cream cheese has an ice-like texture. The rich and sour taste of cream cheese is mixed with the familiar fluffy dough, and the coldness helps to make it taste like eating a rare cheese cake!


By the way, if you thaw everything, the cheese will be smooth and you can eat it like a namagashi, so please choose according to your taste. Imagawayaki is hard to reach in the summer, but it's perfect for a snack on a hot day. Limited quantity so don't miss it!
