It is quite different to the usual daifuku. I don't eat strawberry daifuku that often, so I don't have a preference for a whole strawberry in the middle of the soft rice cake, so I quite liked the jelly sauce filling in this product. They make the jelly sauce by boiling down "carefully selected" strawberries, as it says on the wrapping, so the strawberry flavor is quite rich and I liked both the taste and the texture. The size is good too, not too big so it can be eaten as a not too filling snack between meals.

My children who are more used to the traditional strawberry daifuku weren't so keen on this daifuku as they prefer the whole strawberry in the center rather than just a jelly paste. We got this product for 108 yen, but I think its usually more expensive. I am not sure its worth a higher price tag, but I would buy it for myself again at 108 yen. I'd buy the other flavors for my kids. I haven't seen this brand of daifuku at other stores, so it may not be widely available. Have you ever seen it before?
