Purchase the popular "Gunrindo" bean daifuku!
A popular product of the Japanese-style confectionery store 'Gunrindo', which is one of Tokyo's three soybean Daifuku's, 'Meas Daifuku'. We report the place of purchase and the crowded situation, the taste of anxious bean daifuku.
Gunrindo, what is the crowded situation right after opening?
Gurindo is located in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, a 3-minute walk from Gokokuji Station.
The arrival was at 9:30, just opened.
Of course there were no special events for mail order and department stores, and there were no reservation sales, so there were already more than 7 people on weekday mornings. It is recommended that you go as soon as possible, as it may be sold out earlier than the opening time (sometimes even at noon).
The establishment of Gunrindo was in the early Taisho period. Japanese-style confectioneries, including rice cakes, have long been loved as handicraft souvenirs such as Yukio Mishima and Matsumoto Kiyoshi.
The taste of bean daifuku created by the first generation is now passed on to the second generation master.
Peking Daifuku of Gunrindo looks pretty.
This time, I bought four beans Daifuku for home use.

When you open the package, you will find the Mame Daifuku side-by-side. (One piece 190 yen)
When measuring the size per piece, the diameter is 5.5 cm and the weight is 91 g.
There is a heavy weight for the size, and the ruddy skin looks like a small snow mountain.
Gunrindo's Mame Daifuku, what is your favorite taste?
When I eat a bite , I am surprised at the presence of beans .
If you try to count the number of beans contained in one piece ... more than 20 red beans and beans.
The crispy bean texture, entwined grain annuities, strong saltiness and rich sweetness spread out in the mouth.
Compared with the sweetness of common Japanese sweets, the sweetness of the sweetness of the sweetness of the beans is strong and the flavor of the beans is strong.
Green tea is of course also compatible with black coffee and milk,
It is an adult bean daifuku that I want to recommend to people who do not usually eat Japanese sweets.
