ミズ タマリ
Recently opened fruit daifuku shop. It is located between Namba and Shinsaibashi, closer to Namba on Midosuji. The shop has a stylish look with a glass interior that allows you to see inside. There is no seating inside, only for takeout. Inside, there are many attractive examples of fruit daifuku with delicious cross-sections of fruits on display. Some fruits used in the daifuku were surprising. There are seasonal fruits available, currently persimmon. Kiwi, which I was interested in, was sold out. I purchased three daifuku - one each of strawberry, mango, and mixed fruits, for 1,800 yen. A bit pricey considering the usual price of daifuku, but maybe the fruits used are high-end. They put the three daifuku in a box when I ordered. I chose a yellow wrapping paper for home use, although they asked me to choose. It would be perfect for a gift. I paid with a credit card, foreign payment service, or cash - no Japanese e-money was accepted. Inside the box, there was a string. As stated in the pamphlet, it seems you are supposed to enjoy the cross-section before eating. I tried but found it quite challenging. The mixed fruit one was particularly difficult, as I could only see the strawberry. However, seeing the fruits inside does make it more exciting to eat! As for the taste, the daifuku skin was very soft, and the white bean paste was elegant. I felt the fruits were a bit lacking... I expected a stronger fruit flavor. Maybe if I had eaten it whole, I would have felt more of the fruit. It's very elegant and delicious, but considering the price and size, it might be a bit expensive for a regular snack. However, as a gift, it is stylish and cute, so it would probably be well-received.
