A cute strawberry loving specter from the grave appeared as a new specialty from the Japanese confectionary “Edo Usagi”. This cunning yet creepy “Yokai Ichigo Daifuku (¥1,560 for 6 pieces)” are each handmade, giving each little monster a different unique face. Staring at the carefree face of this little creature may be a waste to eat, but the soft mochi and smooth bean paste with the sweet and blinky strawberry will create an amazing harmony inside your mouth. Other than these adorable strawberry monsters, they also have apricot, chestnut, and many other, sold during different seasons.
