The Production Peak of Confectionery Shops in Fukui
There is very little time left before White Day on March 14th, where Valentine’s Day gifts are returned. In a confectionery shop within Fukui Prefecture’s Fukui City, the production of cute heart-shaped sweets is reaching its production peak. Enveloped in the sweet aroma, male customers have been closely evaluating the products.
At “HanaEchizen” (in Fukui City, Ninomiya, 3-Chome), there are eight kinds of sweets on display. The most popular is a heart-shaped baumkuchen. Dried rose petals are studded within the strawberry-flavoured dough, and then coated with white chocolate. A rectangular baumkuchen is also available, with nuts and cranberries, it has a sweet and sour flavour, using a lot of ruby chocolate.
“It would be great if a couple’s relationship can deepen with the sweets,” said the male shop owner (aged 62).
