Yukishio Chinsuko: our impressions
The refined sweetness and the faint saltiness are nicely balanced, and it melts away almost as soon as it hits your tongue.
It was delicious.
It makes you thirsty as you eat, so it would go well with coffee or Japanese tea.
I have eaten it many times before, but
It confirmed once again that Nanpudo’s Yukishio Chinsuko really is good.
