These daifuku are delicious! They're kind of like giant mochi. The red bean filling inside is just right—not too sweet! The slightly salty outer layer adds to the overall flavor, which I really like.

For a frozen daifuku, the quality of the skin is amazing. The taste is decent, nothing special. I'm really looking forward to more flavors, like soy milk or Oreo... because for daifuku, a good skin is all that matters.
