Okinawan Brown Sugar Kokutou Raisin Bun by Gokoku Japanese Bakery

Gokoku has another wonderful creation this year-end season with a heavenly pairing of kokuto (Okinawan brown sugar) and raisin, embedded in their signature fluffy buns. I love their kokuto offerings, so was excited to try this when it came out. It actually had more of a matte texture as in the pictures below. The glistening look in this first picture was due to condensate because I had stored it overnight in the fridge and had just taken it out. Before eating, I reheated it in the oven for the perfect texture of their fluffy bread. When reheated or lightly toasted, these buns of theirs become thinly crispy on the outside, while maintaining a delightfully fluffy and chewy texture on the inside. The genius of this product was in the taste pairing.
