Koroan Co., Ltd. (Head office: Naka-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President and Representative Director: Tomoya Saito, hereinafter referred to as Koroan) is From December 12, 2024 (Thursday), we will be selling our first take-out confectionery, mochi sweets “Mochiyakipan”, at our Shin-Yokohama store. ■Development history Yokohama Motomachi Koroan Since its establishment in Motomachi, Yokohama in 2004, the company has continued to create highly original Japanese sweets that incorporate the essence of Motomachi, Yokohama, while making the most of the traditional taste of Japanese sweets. On the other hand, in recent years, the Japanese sweets industry has been in decline and there has been a shift away from Japanese sweets. Furthermore, after
experiencing the coronavirus pandemic, I wanted to create
opportunities to connect with my family and have fun. It took about a year to develop the product. The most difficult part of development was selecting ingredients that would have a chewy texture even when cooled, and that even small children could eat with confidence. Please enjoy Koroan’s first “Mochiyakipan”, which we finally arrived at after many trial productions. ■Product features Appearance is a golden-brown dome shape. The texture is actually chewier and softer than it looks. You can experience the chewy texture of mochi the moment you eat it. The renovated Shin-Yokohama store will have kitchen facilities. Each piece is baked in the store and delivered to you. Taste is a plain version where you can enjoy the original taste of mochi-yaki bread. We also offer three types of Japanese sweets: burnt soy sauce flavor and Wasanbon cinnamon flavor. It’s a Japanese sweet that looks like bread and has a nostalgic feel to it. It’s bite-sized and looks cute. ■This is what we want customers to eat! If you don’t like red bean paste or have never tried Japanese sweets, I highly recommend giving this a try. I would like to create an opportunity for people to experience the deliciousness and fun of Japanese sweets. Please spend a relaxing time with your family. ■Renewal opening Other benefits To commemorate the reopening, we will be selling a limited number of “Kouroan fun bags” (price 1,080 yen (tax included) from December 12th to December 15th) In addition, we will be selling “Pumpkin Dorayaki” for a limited time using the chestnut pumpkin “Black Joe” developed by Sakata Seed Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President and CEO: Hiroshi Sakata). This is the first collaboration product with a local company. We will bring you the charm of Yokohama Japanese sweets.
