Otafukudo
×Strawberry daifuku
Why you must eat itA daifuku wrapping a whole strawberry and white bean paste in soft mochi. A bite mixes the berry's tartness with the paste's sweetness, the mochi stretching soft. Pounded from domestic rice flour, the mochi is thin, the strawberry's red faintly showing through. A sweets specialist working with Kyotamba ingredients, it also lines up versions with sweet potato and dried fruit. Between the seafood, one to close the market walk — buy it cold and eat it on the spot.
Otafukudo is a strawberry-daifuku and sweet-potato dessert specialist in Kuromon Market, built on Kyotamba ingredients. Its signature is a whole strawberry wrapped in thin mochi and white bean paste, alongside versions using Shikoku yuzu, Kagoshima sweet potato and Kyoto matcha. Chilled, it keeps about three days, so it suits a souvenir too. A stop for when, amid the market's seafood, you want something sweet.
