Do you know "Guimauve"?: Fun Facts about Japan

Guimauve is a expensive and fancy marshmallow.

Got! Japanese love expensive fancy stuff.
It's just a expensive marshmallow!



I'm not saying marshmallow tastes bad, but I don't think marshmallow is that great to make USD 300 for a day!
A single little expensive marshmallow costs a dollar 30 cents!

Hell ya! That is an expensive marshmallow!

What's the difference between Marshmallow and Guimauve?
Just the price? haha

Ishimura Mansai Do a sweets factory that holds 60% share of marshmallow in Japan, which opened a Guimuve shop "Chouwari"
defines, Guimauve a neo marshmallow. Not just expensive, but it is more handmade (Obviously made by machine), lasts shorter and softer than marshmallow, collaborates with other ingredients, trendy, makes a good gift.

So, let me summarize, no different with marshmallow but people pay more for the unusual sweet Guimave and its name value.
I'm not gonna by such thing!

Normal marshmallow is good enough for me.
