Black Tea Jelly x Milk Bean Paste: An "Anmitsu to Drink" to Enjoy in Summer
This exquisite item combines fragrant black tea jelly with smooth milk bean paste, allowing you to savor it as if you were drinking milk tea. The rich aroma of black tea harmonizes with the gentle sweetness of milk, making it a refreshing treat even in the hot season.
Its appeal also lies in the new flavors created by combining Funabashiya's proud jelly and Kuzumochi, Hokkaido-grown red peas, and other Japanese ingredients. It's a limited-edition Anmitsu that leverages the best of both Japanese sweets and black tea.
Developer's Comment
"While Anmitsu is a Japanese sweet, we believe its possibilities are still expanding. This Black Tea Milk Anmitsu was born from our desire to propose a new way to enjoy Anmitsu by combining the elegant aroma of black tea and the richness of milk with Funabashiya's jelly and Kuzumochi.
We particularly focused on the aroma of the black tea jelly and the smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture of the milk bean paste. We pursued a delicate balance where the astringency of the black tea is not too strong and the sweetness of the milk is not too heavy.
We hope you will enjoy it with the feeling of savoring a cold milk tea on a hot day."

About Funabashiya
Founded in 1805 during the Edo period, we are celebrating our 221st year in 2026 as a Kanto-style Kuzumochi shop.
Funabashiya's Kuzumochi is a "rare fermented food among Japanese sweets," made by fermenting wheat starch with lactic acid for 450 days and then steaming it. This long-term lactic acid fermentation process creates its unique chewy texture and elasticity.
Furthermore, driven by our desire to deliver natural products directly to our customers, we have consistently adhered to natural manufacturing methods without using preservatives.
This traditional Japanese sweet, being a fermented food and free of preservatives, is now gaining attention from health-conscious individuals.
