Hello everyone~! This is Saori from Japanese Snacks Republic!

This time! A flavor that surprisingly never existed before! A delicious combo that everyone’s loving—so much so that convenience stores are reporting sellouts already~!

Come to think of it, fruit-flavored daifuku have been trending in Japan for a while, but a Salty Lychee Daifuku? That’s a first! It’s currently sold exclusively at convenience stores and is creating a buzz as a surprisingly tasty treat, so let’s check it out!

Inside, it’s super chewy! A salty lychee-flavored jelly cream wrapped in fresh cream, and then covered again with soft gyuhi mochi skin for that chewy finish! Bite into the soft sweetness of the mochi, then enjoy the creamy and tangy lychee flavor inside—it feels almost Western-style even though it’s daifuku, and it’s absolutely delicious! It pairs better with coffee or tea than with green tea, and its cute bite-sized appearance makes it even more popular!

Japan’s late-summer heat is still pretty harsh, but since this is daifuku, it holds up well—and with fruity cream inside, it’s refreshing and tasty too! Everyone, definitely try this unexpectedly delicious combination—Salty Lychee Daifuku!
