Trivia
[Difference] Similar to Japanese 'Nerikiri', but uniquely coated in agar to give it an intense, plastic-like 'glossy shine'.
Eating tips & etiquette
Almost too cute to eat, but pop it in one bite. The thin agar shell cracks slightly, giving way to a moist, coconut-flavored 'white bean paste' texture.
