【A bite-sized concentration of mountain blessings】 The golden happiness brought by 'Bandai Mountain Croquette'

For those traveling in the Aizu basin, the majestic figure of Mount Bandai is always a source of comfort, and the local gourmet dish named after the mountain captures the hearts of many. 'Bandai Mountain Croquette'. It is a masterpiece filled with the kindness of Aizu, encapsulating the 'local flavors' nurtured by the rich underground water and fertile land of Mount Bandai, all wrapped in a crispy, fragrant coating.

■ The earth's flavors, with a focus on 'fluffy texture'

The essence of this croquette lies in the strong flavors of the ingredients themselves.

• Carefully selected 'Bandai-grown' crystals: Featuring high-quality potatoes harvested in Bandai Town as the star ingredient, blended with vegetables grown in the rich climate of Aizu. With the first bite, the gentle sweetness of the potatoes spreads throughout your mouth, allowing you to experience the freshness of the ingredients.
• The artisan's frying technique: Crispy on the outside, surprisingly creamy and fluffy on the inside. The 'freshly made' heat that comes from frying only after an order is placed feels like magic, instantly blowing away the winter chill and travel fatigue.

■ A 'golden accent' that accompanies travel memories

Loved by many travelers as the perfect companion for a driving break or to satisfy a small hunger during a stroll.

• Delicious even without sauce, its true power: Since the flavor of the ingredients is robust, the 'Aizu style' is to first enjoy it as is. The earthy aroma that expands with each bite connects to the honest deliciousness unique to this land, reminiscent of the previously introduced 'Bandai Golden Natto' and local sake.
• Tasting with the scenery: Sitting on a bench at the roadside station, savoring a croquette while gazing at the real Mount Bandai towering before you. In that moment, the scenery and flavor blend into one, making travel memories even more vivid.

Though it may not be flashy, it delivers a certain satisfaction and warmth. Why not enjoy the golden blessings nurtured by the soil of Bandai with your own hands and mouth?
