Morinaga (杏仁豆腐バー) Almond Tofu Bar short review

杏仁豆腐バー by Morinaga (森永)


I love Almond Tofu (杏仁豆腐) especially when I'm having Japanese-Chinese food (中華料理). It is usually lightly sweetened with a hint of Oriental almond taste. The Tofu is smoother than normal tofu. I was very excited to try this :D. 

Translation for what is written on the box:

It is a chewy, sticky ice cream (もっちりアイス)
Mainly Coconut fruits and Yellow Peach (椰果&黃桃)

Lactic Ice - this product contains milk (ラクトアイス) (this is important to note since a lot of Asians are lactose intolerant)
It contains 3% of fruit flesh (果肉3%)
It contains coconut fruits (the chewy "fruits" derived from coconuts) (コリコリナタデコ)


杏仁豆腐バー

impressions:

  • very sticky
  • has a nice chewy texture (モチ)
  • was surprised they used coconut fruits for the "fruit elements"
  • a bit sweeter than your normal almond tofu
  • it melts but also doesn't melt

 I liked it! I was a bit taken back by the sweetness (compared to normal Almond Tofu), though. I really enjoyed the chewiness of the ice bar and enjoyed munching away at the coconut fruits and yellow peach :)

It was a very chewy experience ;) モチモチ感じ

What I found interesting while eating was the "tofu" elements weren't very cold and weren't melting (they gave in to the warmth of your mouth but not to the warmth of the air), the only part that melted was the icy milk ice cream part. I felt I had enough time to enjoy this and allowed the tofu to melt in my mouth. 

score: 9.5/10
