Shiro (White) Daifuku Red Bean Cake

しろ  大福 (shiro daifuku )

The packaging is all that’s left. As usual, I ate the contents of the package before remembering to take a picture. This variant from Shirakiku didn’t make that big an impression on me. I can’t even remember what color the filling was. I like the green yomogi and black kurogoma daifuku better.
