Have you ever tried a Japanese candy? Japanese sweets are kind of refreshing and not too heavy. But some of them are relatively very sweet. One of Japanese well-known candy is “Milky” from FUJIYA.
Milky
Milky is really milky and chewy soft candy like a caramel. It tastes like sweet milk. It has been very familiar to Japanese people since long time ago. The sound of the TV commercial of Milky is catchy. It sings that “Milky tastes like mommy”. All Japanese people might know the song.
Actually, Milky tastes mild and gentle like a supportive and kind mother.
Milky ice cream Monaka
FUJIYA has launched an ice cream that tastes Milky.
Monaka
First, I need to share what is Monaka. Many Japanese traditional confections are covered with Monaka. Monaka is like a wafer but made of rice. Usually, sweet red bean paste is inside the skin of Monaka. The most attractive feature of monaka is its texture. Outside of monaka is crispy, and the filling is chewy and sweet. Furthermore, the skin of monaka is aromatic and not sweet so that the confection is just right!
The Feature of the Ice Cream
Thanks to the outside crispy monaka skin, you can eat “Milky ice cream” without getting dirty with your hands and around of you. And the ice cream looks like a real monaka. It shapes like a very beautiful disk.
Chewy ice cream
You must be surprised when you have one bite of the ice cream. The part of the milky ice cream is very chewy, and it stretches! It’s almost like a rice cake or marshmallow! However it’s cold and firm. Can you believe it? It is less sweet compared to “Milky” candy but tastes rich milk!
Summary
Milky is not like a well-known traditional Japanese confection like a Yokan or Wagashi. But it’s one of the most popular casual candies in Japan. It’s sold everywhere in Japan such as supermarkets or convenience stores. Let’s try “Milky” once and find Milky ice cream in Seven Eleven Japan!
