Obuse Milk Yakibread
Obuse milk sweets loved in Shinshu are delicious!

"Obuse Milk" in Obuse Town, Shinshu, one of the local milks that exist all over the country. Milk is hard to come by outside the prefecture, but did you know that sweets made from Obuse milk are also on sale?

The other day, I found "grilled bread" and "grilled donuts" at KALDI Coffee Farm (270 yen each including tax). Both are baked confectioneries made by kneading the dough with only Obuse milk without using a single drop of water.

The retro package is cute. The manufacturer is Maruichi Co., Ltd. in Nagano.

At first glance, the two are similar, but when you try them, the texture is different. The bite-sized grilled bread is moist and has a scone-like texture that crumbles.

The sweetness of rich milk and the gentle aroma of vanilla spread along with the smoothness. There aren't many sweets that make you feel the deliciousness of milk even when it comes to baked goods.

On the other hand, the baked donuts are characterized by a crunchy cookie-like texture. You can enjoy the mesmerizing milk flavor as well as baked bread. It has a simple taste and goes well with milk, coffee, and tea, so be careful as it will not stop once you start eating.

The slightly salty feeling is also exquisite

A local snack that is not flashy, but the deliciousness of the ingredients is behind. When you visit the site, you definitely want to buy it as a souvenir, but you can also buy related products at online shops and food shops such as Kinokuniya outside the prefecture. If you see it, please try it!
