When I was making 'Kinoko no Yama', something like 'Takenoko no Sato' was completed before I knew it.



The Meiji 'Handmade Kinoko no Yama Set ' (210 yen including tax) allows you to make various shapes of 'Kinoko no Yama' by putting melted chocolate in a mold. There are two types of chocolate, black and white, and you can make colorful patterns, so I decided to actually make it.

The package is a bag type.



The raw material looks like this.



The energy per bag (36 grams) is 204 kcal.



To make it, just warm the enclosed chocolate tube with hot water to melt it, pour it into a mold, insert a cracker and cool it. It's very simple and seems to be enjoyable even for small children.



The contents of the bag are semi-chocolate (1 bottle), white cream (1 bottle), chocolate bag (1 bottle), cracker (1 bag).



There are 8 types of molds in total, and you can pour chocolates of 2 different colors into them, so you can make a pile of mushrooms with various patterns.



First, soak the two tubes in hot water to melt the chocolate. It seems that the temperature at this time should be about 50 degrees.



After that, squeeze the chocolate out of the tube and pour it into the mold.



First of all, white chocolate ……



It is also possible to mix it with semi-chocolate from above.



Insert the cracker before the chocolate hardens and you're done. Chocolate hardens quickly, so be sure to insert a cracker immediately after pouring. In addition, the chocolate is used up with this, and it is just about one dose.



After that, put it in the refrigerator and let it harden for 30 minutes or more.



It's OK if you take it out of the mold over time. I thought it would be difficult to take it out, but I was able to take it out with just a little movement.



First of all, the normal 'Kinoko no Yama'.



I mixed two kinds of chocolate to make it look like a gradation.



This is another small mushroom type on the 'Mushroom Mountain'.



In some cases, the two stick together to look like twins.



A pile of mini-sized mushrooms. The chocolate part was crispy, and the cracker part was crispy and had a pleasant texture, probably because it was chilled when I tried it. The mellow sweetness of chocolate, the light taste of crackers, and the taste are just like the mountain of Kinoko no yama, but because it was made by hand, it feels more delicious than usual. It's a simple way to make chocolate, and if you just pay attention to the fact that the chocolate hardens quickly, even small children can enjoy it.



When I was impressed that 'there are various shapes of mushroom mountains,' I discovered something like this. The cracker part is 'Kinoko no Yama', but the chocolate part is 'Takenoko no Sato' no matter how you look at it. It turned out to be a surprising fact that he intended to make 'Kinoko no Yama' but before he knew it, he was making 'Takenoko no Sato'.



If you look closely at the package, 'Takenoko no Sato' is making 'Kinoko no Yama' ...



Whether this is the result of the compromise between 'Kinoko no Yama' and 'Takenoko no Sato', or whether it is a new strategy of 'Takenoko no Sato', I would like to pay attention to

the future development of 'Kinoko no Sato'.
