This is a newer version of a kit I\u2019ve previously reviewed, which you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/2017\/08\/product-review-meigum-odangoya-san\/\">here<\/a>. The main difference is the kinds of candies you can make, the previous version included a different variety, although they did keep some elements like the strawberry daifuku. Each kit includes a few moulds, a spoon, several powders and a bag for mixing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"[DIY Kit] Odangoya-san: Strawberry Daifuku, Taiyaki, Warabimochi &amp; More | Meigum\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bdUHXdzvNH4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>Flavour:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u2665<br \/>\n<\/strong>The white mochi tasted neutral, it was slightly sweet and a bit chewy. It didn\u2019t have a very distinct flavour to it except for the slight hint of sweetness. The pink mochi was slightly chewy as well and had a sweet, yet slightly sour flavour to it. It tasted like artificial strawberry flavouring. The green mochi tasted a little sweet and I think it tasted like green tea, but I can\u2019t be sure since I\u2019ve never had green tea. It\u2019s not a flavour I appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;red bean paste&#8217; tasted a little like tea to me, but I&#8217;ve never had actual red bean paste so I&#8217;m not sure how it should taste. It was sweet but not very sweet. I didn\u2019t really like this flavour.<\/p>\n<p>The see-through jelly was slightly sweet, had a jelly-like texture, a little less firm, and didn&#8217;t have a specific taste I could identify besides sweet.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t expect much from this kit, since I didn\u2019t really love the flavours of the previous version either. Regardless it was still a fun kit to make.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time needed:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u29d7\u29d7<br \/>\n<\/strong>There are quite a few parts to this kit and you need to work pretty carefully, so it does take up some time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Difficulty level:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u2605\u2605<\/strong><br \/>\nThis kit isn\u2019t super easy or super hard to make, as long as you follow the instructions and make sure your mochi doesn\u2019t stick to your fingers. Be careful when removing the candies from their moulds, since you might accidentally change their shapes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Similarity:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\ud83d\udcf7\ud83d\udcf7<\/strong><br \/>\nAs you can see on the pictures below, the final product looks pretty similar to the packaging. The colours are a bit off though and the textures don\u2019t entirely match up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP:<\/strong> If the mochi sticks to your fingers, then dip your fingertips in some water. This makes it a lot easier to get them into the mould properly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rgg-container\" data-rgg-id=\"10136\">    <div class=\"rgg-imagegrid captions-title captions-effect-none \" data-rgg-id=\"10136\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Meigum_Odangoya-san_4.png\" data-rel=\"rgg\" rel=\"rgg\" title=\"Photographs by MuchMunchies\" class=\"rgg-simplelightbox size-full rgg-img\" data-src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Meigum_Odangoya-san_4.png\" data-ratio=\"1.3520900321543\" data-height=\"622\" data-width=\"841\" aria-label=\"\">\n                            <\/a>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Meigum_Odangoya-san_5.png\" data-rel=\"rgg\" rel=\"rgg\" title=\"Photographs by MuchMunchies\" class=\"rgg-simplelightbox size-full rgg-img\" data-src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Meigum_Odangoya-san_5.png\" data-ratio=\"1.2861736334405\" data-height=\"622\" data-width=\"800\" aria-label=\"\">\n                            <\/a>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Meigum_Odangoya-san_6.png\" data-rel=\"rgg\" rel=\"rgg\" title=\"Photographs by MuchMunchies\" class=\"rgg-simplelightbox size-full rgg-img\" data-src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Meigum_Odangoya-san_6.png\" data-ratio=\"1.1688102893891\" data-height=\"622\" data-width=\"727\" aria-label=\"\">\n                            <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Want to enjoy this kit again?<\/h4>\n<p>Clean the mould with warm water, after using it, and let it air dry.
