Luxurious use of rare figs, available ahead of season.
Generally, the fig season is considered to be from August onwards for open-field cultivation. Fruit Daifuku Benzaiten, however, has adopted rare "greenhouse figs" that are shipped from April, ahead of their usual season.
Figs cultivated carefully in greenhouses during this period are not only limited in distribution but also very delicate fruits whose quality changes immediately after harvest. Therefore, they possess high rarity value as a "taste available only for a limited time" that is not widely distributed in the market.
The figs used this time are from Aichi Prefecture, which boasts one of the top production volumes nationwide. Among them, we use the "Masui Dauphine" variety, characterized by its rich sweetness and melting flesh.
Please enjoy this special taste available only during this early season.
The moment it's cut, a melting, glossy cross-section beauty appears.
The "beautiful cross-section" that appears the moment it's cut with a mochi-cutting thread is also a major feature of Fig Daifuku. The vivid red flesh emerging from the thin, soft gyuhi (mochi skin) and elegant white bean paste shines like a jewel. This beautiful cross-section is born only from perfectly ripe figs. It's finished as a dish where you can enjoy visual beauty along with the freshness that spreads the moment it enters your mouth and a melting texture.
Highly rare, beautiful Fig Daifuku is also ideal for gifts.
"Fig Daifuku," combining the rarity of being available only during a limited season and an eye-catching beautiful cross-section, is also ideal for gifts to loved ones. The special feeling of "tasting the season before it hits the market" makes it a memorable item. As a high-quality Japanese confection that evokes the changing seasons, it can be enjoyed as a souvenir, a gift, or a treat for oneself.
