Shirakiku Marukyo Meisaku Baked Bean Cakes

We created our international snack blog about 14 months ago in order to track our progress as we sought out the very best snacks from around the world.  At the beginning of this year we started to offer these discovered foreign snacks for sale in our international snack store.  Each month this year we are expanding our store to include a new country and their snacks.  This month we added German Snacks and next month, we will offer Mexican Snacks for Sale Online.  What is to follow? We are not sure yet, but we do know Snacks from Japan are on the top of the list.  So tonight, we are reviewing a Japanese Snack, the Shirakiku Marukyo Meisaku.
Shirakiku Marukyo Meisaku Baked Bean Cakes
Japan and their unique and unusual flavored snacks are one of the reasons we decided to start World of Snacks.  So far we’ve reviewed some Japanese Kit Kats and even Pizza Flavored Doritos.  A snack class we’ve neglected though are traditional Japanese snacks.  That’s why were excited to discover this tray of assorted baked bean cakes.  Baked bean cakes are unheard of in the United States, but are wildly popular in many Asian countries.  Being our household includes an authentic Asian person, it is a snack my family enjoys on many occasions.  Let’s take a closer look at the Shirakiku Baked Bean Cakes.
Our tray arrived refrigerated.  Nearly all the text is in Japanese, so exactly what we are reviewing is slightly unknown.  The packaging is clear and there is an assortment of bean cakes that are individually wrapped.  There are 5 different flavors of bean cakes and several different shapes. The text in the top left corner, which at first appeared to be the brand name, reads “Marukyo MEISAKU”.  After further investigation, and located on the back of the Marukyo Meisaku Baked Bean Cakes, the brand that makes this snack is actually Shirakiku. Enough of how they look, let’s give these Japanese snacks a try!
We carefully analyzed each cake individually with our initial goal being we wanted to review each bean treat one at a time.  After sampling the assortment of cakes, we quickly realized that they are far too similar to dedicate individual reviews and/or blog articles to.  What do they taste like? Well, the Shirakiku Marukyo Meisaku Baked Bean Cakes taste like… bean cakes.  It’s a pastry of sort with a ground bean filling. From what we can tell the flavors include plum, lime, sesame, traditional, and sweetened. If you can read Japanese or are familiar with Shirakiku Marukyo Meisaku please let us know below if we have the flavors right.  Overall we did enjoy this snack, we just wished it had a little more variety.  All the flavors were very subtle, and often difficult to determine.
Will World of Snacks offer Shirakiku Meisaku Baked Bean Cakes for sale online when our store is expanded to include Japanese snacks?  Not at first.  This foreign snack requires refrigeration and although our warehouse is heated and cooled, we have yet to add refrigerators or freezers.  If you are searching for Japanese Snacks for Sale Online then be sure to leave your details to the right.  If you are looking for international snacks now, than take a look at our store and view our current inventory.  Keep on snacking world!
