"Luxurious Fruit Daifuku" using Seasonal Fruits: Kameya Manendo's "Sky Matcha Strawberry Daifuku"

Kameya Manendo's concept is to "luxuriously savor the deliciousness of the season" and sells limited edition "Luxurious Fruit Daifuku" made with seasonal fruits each month. The "Sky Matcha Strawberry Daifuku" is a limited edition strawberry daifuku for April, wrapped in Shizuoka's "Benihoppe" strawberries, using the carefully selected "Sky Matcha" made from the finest first flush tea leaves grown in the mountainous areas of Shizuoka. The "Sky Matcha," which is the key to the taste, uses the first flush tea leaves, which have an excellent balance of color, umami, and aroma. The soft-textured mochi also includes coarse-grained "Sky Matcha" tea leaves, allowing you to enjoy the aftertaste as well.


"Sky Matcha" is a premium matcha with a deep, rich sweetness and elegant aroma, grown in the tea gardens of Shizuoka's naturally rich mountainous areas. Although the tea gardens receive the benefits of the environment, such as gentle sunlight in the mountains and clean water, they also require heavy labor for cultivation and harvesting because large machinery cannot be used on the steep slopes.


By taking the time to grow the tea in the labor-intensive covered cultivation method, even on the steep slopes of the mountainous tea gardens, the tea leaves have a high-quality and deep, rich taste compared to other regions. The carefully cultivated "Sky Matcha" has a bright color and the original bitterness of high-quality tea leaves, which is a characteristic bitterness that can be tasted even when used in sweets.


You can enjoy the seasonal limited edition daifuku that takes advantage of the compatibility between "Sky Matcha" and "Benihoppe" strawberries grown in the same region with "Sky Matcha Strawberry Daifuku."
