White Runner Bean Mousse with Light and Fluffy Texture -Fujiya Confectionery in Rubeshibe, Kitami-

Fujiya Confectionery (ふじや菓子舗) is a long-established confectionary in Onneyu Onsen (温根湯温泉), Rubeshibe-cho located in the western part of Kitami city and was founded in 1932. As for white runner bean, Rubeshibe-cho has been the top produce in Japan. Therefore they has been producing cakes using the white runner bean since the old days. Because I heard that one of the cakes, white runner bean mousse (白花豆ムース) were famous, I visited here to purchase it. The price was JPY 290.

There was not a place for customers to enjoy foods and drinks at the store, and I moved to Onsen Yume square (温泉ゆめ広場). I sat on a bench and decided to eat the white runner bean mousse. I left it and thawed it because the white runner bean mousse freezed first. It had a light and fluffy texture when I ate it about thawing. It was not too sweet and had a slightly bean taste. It will become new local speciality sweets of Onneyu Onsen.
