This limited-time product will be available nationwide at 'Kofukudo' stores (※) from July 1 (Wed) to July 7 (Tue).

'Pistachio Chocolate Daifuku' (¥324 including tax / 1 piece)

A new daifuku featuring the rich flavor and aromatic fragrance of pistachios, often referred to as the 'queen of nuts'.

The pistachio an filling is made in-house by blending pistachio paste into white bean paste, resulting in a rich, nutty aroma and smooth taste. This filling is wrapped in a soft, chewy mochi skin infused with chocolate—perfectly complementing the unique fragrance of pistachios—and then dusted with cocoa powder for a refined finish. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes before eating to enjoy a cool, refreshing texture.

Despite its elegant cocoa-colored exterior, the daifuku reveals a vibrant green pistachio filling inside, making it a photogenic treat ideal for gifts or sharing with others.
