Rokuji-ya Tart
Historical long-established specialty “Shikoku-tart"
Japanese notation "イチゴ ダックワーズ"
I bought “Ichigo(strawberry) Duckworths” made by Marushin Co. in Kagawa Prefecture. “Duckworths” are a traditional French baked cake.
The strawberry duckworth is made by sandwiching a rich cream of Setouchi fruit between the dacquoise and the strawberry.
It has a very delicate mouthfeel, even through its many layers of pie-like, biscuit-like dough.
I had never had it before, but the strawberry cream, as well as the slight almond flavor, and the layer of sugar coating around it worked well. It was a very complete pastry that went very well with the fruit jam.
