AMAZING
1st NASHINOKA - LA FRANCE JELLY
Minamoto Kitchoan Ala Moana Center Store, Honolulu
They changed the ingredient - made this plant based, now contains soy & oat milk instead of regular milk. OK, some may say "ugh, plant milk agin?" but don't be shy away. The result is outstanding! Actually went so well with refreshing French pear(la France), not over or under, it's just perfect. My words of advice, snatch this while in stock!✌🏽
2nd DESSERT
Tane Vegan Izakaya, USA
Brownie served with matcha coconut ice cream & berries with raspberry cream sauce. We ordered 3 and completely cleaned off the plates. Matcha ice cream was so creamy & a bit of crunchiy coconuts in it😋 Brownie was moist & chocolaty and went really well with the matcha ice cream👍🏽
3rd 桃若姫 - MOMOWAKAHIME
Minamoto Kitchoan, Honolulu
I am torn between this and Kayushin. This is flavorful version of their white peach mochi. Actually more flavorful than that. This tiny whole green peach(young peach) in the center, wrapped with peach-infused white bean paste in very soft mochi, dusted with mochi-crystals(yes, not coconuts). I never knew green-peach is edible but this one really is more than that! This too, along with Kayushin, my current 2 favorites. Sucks these are not their regular items(unless in Japan?)...
3rd 桃若姫 - MOMOWAKAHIME
Minamoto Kitchoan, Honolulu
Return of Momowaka. The tiny fresh green peach in syrup wrapped in the fresh peachy white bean paste, inside of mochi...😋😋😋
4th 白桃 桃泉果 - WHITE PEACH JELLY
Minamoto Kitchoan Ala Moana Center Store, Honolulu
Overdue for savouring this beauty. Very juicy/fruity Whole white peach🍑from Okayama in the center of this silky white-pink jelly. Had to slice them into few pieces but worth the extra work. HEAVEN, I must say✌🏽
5th TOKOYO - CANDIED YUZU PEEL
Minamoto Kitchoan Ala Moana Center Store, Honolulu
Finally got hold of this & savour the seasonal goodness. If you hear lemon or orange peel, you'd probablly imagine (or instantly assume) those tiny chopped fruits bits in ... yeah as you pictute it: the infamous holiday gift, a.k.a fruits cake. Or, bitter-sweet fruit bits that nobody care much, or even wanna forget about. My condolence, this goodie is absolutely none of those. It's thinly sliced(referred as "yuzu-somen"), soaked in syrup first to retain the natural yuzu flavor, then made into candied peel. The peel has a light refreshing yuzu flavor, mildly sweet with no citrusy aftertaste or bitterness at all. For those who loves snacking the dried lemon or orange slices from Trader Joe, this one is definitely for you. Over there in 🇯🇵, seems it's available all year around but here in Hawaii, only for "winter", available for an extreme short period of time. I was little too late to shop this, the Ala Moana store already pulled it off, had to go to Neiman Marcus but I must say it was worth it. Unless I get to travel to 🇯🇵, I gotta wait for the next season for this✌🏽
6th TAIYONOMI - MANGO JELLY
Minamoto Kitchoan, Honolulu
Don't underestimate this by the name "jelly", this is,by far, no comparison to any of synthetic/artificial flavored & colored imitation products or jello you'd get. It is the freshest ripen juicy mango, condensed in this tiny pack. One spoonful...and you'd be hooked
7th GOODIES
Kaimuki, Kaimuki
Two goodies from Kaimuki: Otto Cake & Chocolate Vanilla
8th BASIC MILK TRUFFLES BY ROKUMEIKAN
Minamoto Kitchoan, Honolulu
Move over Go***a, Ro**e, or other chocolatiers! this tiny gem is silky-smooth pure edible magic. Lightly dusted with bitter cocoa powder, AND literally melt in your mouth...
9th GREEN TEA TRUFFLES BY ROKUMEIKAN
Minamoto Kitchoan, Honolulu
Love love love this!! Compared to other "R" brand(the competitor), this is less milky, has more characteristic bold greeentea flavor(aroma, bitterness, and deeper greentea freshness), silky-smooth velvety greentea heaven ...if you prefer milky-greentea, then this one may not be for you. Not for the timid✌️ Absolutely my fave
11th MANJU
Minamoto Kitchoan, Honolulu
This cute lil bunny-shaped manju(beancake) w/ yuzu infused whitebean paste inside is such a gem. The ratio of sweetness & yuzu combination is so addictive. A bits of yuzu peel adding another kick. Sucks this is one of those seasonal product...oh well, get it while you can!✌️
REALLY GOOD
12th MALASADA BREAD PUDDING
Pipeline Bakeshop & Creamery, Honolulu
Sounds crazy but ridiculously good. After ordered malasadas, I was wondering around, torn between cakebombs...then this uncle came after me said "malasada bread pudding is gud, I always get one" and started chatting. I was curious but have never tried it before, instantly decided to get one...OMG. (Ya I know, my bloodsugar goes sky-high added with caffeine, lols!) if you love both mapasadas AND bread pudding, get one!!✌️
13th CHEAT DAY GOODIES
Pipeline Bakeshop & Creamery, Honolulu
Chocolate orange cake bomb, Lemon cake bomb, and Avery'n'molly monster cookie!!
14th KINKAN MOCHI
Minamoto Kitchoan, Honolulu
Same Mochi product line as Gozenguri, soft mochi wrapping whitebean paste encase candied kumkuat in the center. Soft, sophisticatingly sweet, tiny gem for special occasion like tea ceremony. Gotta enjoy with matcha greentea🍵
15th LILIKOI MERINGUE PIE
Times Supermarket, Honolulu
How come nobody ever made this??? Am soooo big in Lemon one, until today.This is my new favorite♥️
16th ACAÍ BANAN
Banan, Kahala Mall
Surprisingly great combination - the sweet creaminess of banana & a lil tangy acai makes it like a frozen yogurtish yummas👌🏽
17th AYASHIRABE 彩しらべ EXPOSED
Minamoto Kitchoan, Honolulu
IDKY I’ve never spotted this...manju which is a traditional bean cake, usually filled with azuki bean paste whereas this one is white bean infused with vanilla, almost like vanilla ice cream. Sweet’n’smooth...just makes me crave for more😋
18th KASHIWAMOCHI
Minamoto Kitchoan, Honolulu
Boys/childrens day specialty. Mochi with azuki bean paste inside wrapped with Oak leaf. Unlike Sakuramochi for girls day, the oak leaf is NOT edible but has nice early summer/late spring fragrant. No spring without kashiwamochi✌️
19th CHOCOLATE MAC BANAN
Banán - Kahala Cube, Honolulu
Chocolate was not strong...wish it was,..
PRETTY GOOD
20th 夕張メロンスチームケーキ
Yubari-shi agricultural cooperative signature product center, Yubari
It sure has the wonderful sweet Yubari melon aroma in this bite-sized tiny cream-filled cupcake, but that was only it. I noticed the sponge to be a bit dried...
21st NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY SPECIAL
Pipeline Bakeshop & Creamery, Honolulu
Haupia Heaven Ice Cream(vegan) over Chocolate Hazelnut cakebomb✌🏽
23rd MANJU
Sam Sato's Inc, Wailuku
Omiyage from Maui, courtesy of co-worker who just returned from her short trip to Maui. It's not quite like Japanesea Manju, more like a pie, filled with azuki bean paste✌🏽
25th BLACK MAGIC HALLOWEEN SPECIAL BANAN
Banán - Kahala Cube, Honolulu
Scary looking for Halloween special, actually it was blacksesame seed & active charcol in it, with black sesame seed butter drizzled on it. Was actually creamy & good.

28th SWEET MUNG BEAN SOUP
Water Drop Vegetarian House, Honolulu
Didn't know this was sweet, remind of me a zenzai/shiruko. Wish it was warmer tho...
29th PUMPKIN ALMOND SPICE BANAN

Seasonal special flavor but pumpkin & banana didn't go well - IMO
