It is said to be the inspiration for Yukimi Daifuku!

The “famous confectionery Tsurunoko” made by Ishimura-Manseido in Fukuoka was created in 1910 and is very famous as one of the best confections of Fukuoka.

The egg-shaped case that comes with the two-pack is also a nice feature, as it can be used to hold small items.

The distinctive feature is this snow-white, round appearance. It is so bright and pure white that it looks like it is glowing, and when you touch it, it is smooth to the touch, making a great impact when you first see it.

Incidentally, the ice cream “Yukimi-daifuku” sold by Lotte was inspired by this “Tsurunoko” in 1981. I did not know that “Yukimi-daifuku” was also inspired by this confectionery.
