My Personal Experience
I recently had the chance to try Benzaiten’s fruit daifuku, and it was an unforgettable experience. The strawberry daifuku I had was a perfect harmony of flavors—the slight tartness of the strawberry paired with the mild sweetness of the white bean paste created an incredible taste.
The mochi was soft and chewy, and the freshness of the fruit truly shone through. It was like tasting the essence of the season in every bite. The elegant packaging also makes it a fantastic gift option.
