Muramatsu Seika

Bite through the crisp sugar shell and the flavour of syrup or alcohol inside unfolds. At Muramatsu Seika, diners have mentioned whisky and brandy, alcohol flavours bearing names such as Hakkaisan and wine, as well as ramune, Calpis, grape and strawberry. Choose whisky or brandy if you want to savour an alcoholic flavour; for a casual snack or a child-friendly option, fruit or juice flavours may suit better.

Several customers have singled out the contrast between the sugar shell and the filling. Opinions on the flavours vary: some found them very sweet, while others enjoyed the strawberry, muscat grape or Calpis varieties. If it is your first time, you could start with one flavour that catches your eye, then try another on a future visit.

Some alcoholic bonbons contain alcohol, so check the flavour before choosing one for someone who avoids alcohol or for a child. A selection of different flavours can also make a pleasant gift to share with family or friends.
