How to eat a tamayokan bean-jelly ball

  • Firmly grasp the rubber wrapper containing the tamayokan near the knot.

  • Pierce the rubber wrapper with a toothpick. Don’t be timid!

  • The rubber wrapper will peel off, leaving just the tamayokan on the toothpick.

  • Pop it into your mouth.

  • Be careful not to drop it!
