Toyama-Tateyama a drop of star

Posted on by nicklee

People who have visited Kurobe Tateyama, if they have browsed the shops in Murodo, should have seen this snack. The box is very beautiful. The cover indicates that it is made with yellow soybeans from Toyama Prefecture.

Behind, there is a clear description of the ingredients: almonds, soybean powder, and puff pastry butter. As for powdered sugar and whole milk powder, it is unclear what they are.

Murodo
On the side, it also says:
“The station closest to the stars in Japan, at an elevation of 2,450 meters.”

After opening, it looks like this. There are a total of 5 packs in one box, with each pack weighing 34g… Actually, this box is a bit big, so just by looking at the box, you might feel deceived~

Each pack looks like this…

After opening, each pack contains about 14 irregularly shaped pieces.

After cutting it open, it looks like this~ You can tell that it’s just a regular almond fruit inside.

Have you noticed how similar this looks to the Breath Chocolate – Nara (↓)?

Actually, there are some slight differences between the two.
The Tateyama a drop of star has a soft outer coating, except for the almonds which are hard. This gives it a more powdery texture when eaten. On the other hand, the Premium is hard, resulting in a completely different mouthfeel. The taste of the soybean powder in Tateyama a drop of star is slightly milder. That concludes the brief introduction to the sweet dessert Tateyama a drop of star from Tateyama.

Finally, in my opinion, ★★★ (3)
People who enjoy eating Japanese desserts can buy a box to try. However, if you want to use it as a souvenir, you should buy a few more boxes since the quantity is not much. Otherwise, it will be finished in no time~>

Rating Criteria:
Five stars: Super delicious; after eating, you’ll want to find a place in Taiwan that sells it!
Four stars: Delicious; if you have the chance to go to Japan, you’ll want to buy it again.
Three stars: Not bad; it’s good to have tried it.
Two stars: Average; just wanted to taste the flavor, you can buy it.
One star: Won’t fall for it again (potential disappointment).

There is a beef bowl restaurant in Okaga Yokocho called “Butasute”. The name is really unique. Does it mean that the food is so delicious that people don’t want to eat pork? Of course, this is not the true origin… The above is purely a legend. In fact, the original owner of Butasute, “Shekichi”, used to raise pigs. Later, he stopped raising pigs and became a beef merchant, hence the name “Butasute”
