Good quality of Japanese sweet called "Mizu Yokan."

You can sample several types of yokan, which is rare even at a yokan shop in Nikko, so you can choose your favorite one.
The wooden appearance is also wonderful, giving it a nostalgic feel.
All of them are delicious, but they especially focus on the mizuyokan, which is perfect for home use or as a souvenir.

The mizu yokan was delicious, but I really liked the bite of yokan😍😍😍💗💗💗
One slice of the high-quality yokan brands that you can find in department stores is enough, but this yokan has such a modest sweetness that you might not even need one bite. It was good😊😊😊💕
Next time I go, I think I'll buy one instead of just a bite of yokan 🙂✨
