Goma-Suri Dacquoise

ごま摺りダックワーズ

Dacquoise with plenty of sesame

I bought “Goma-Suri Dacquoise” made by Shoeido, (Goma:mean”Sesami”) which has been making confections in Ichinoseki City, Iwate Prefecture, for over 100 years since 1903.

When the package is opened, the black dacquoise appears. The black sesame feeling is front and center.

When you break it in half, you will find more sesame cream between the pitch black cake batter. The black sponge is not only made of black sesame but also bamboo charcoal powder.

The surface has a crunchy texture and the inside is soft and fluffy. The sponge is made of rice flour, which gives it just the right chewy texture. They use soy sauce as a secret ingredient, and it is very well balanced, making it moist and sweet with the richness of sesame.
