Q. . Could you introduce the product featured in this collaboration with Greenear?
For those attending the Daejeon Midnight Bookstore Concert hosted by Greenear, we have prepared a special dessert based on Hare, Hare's signature menu item, the Rice Hare Cheese. We topped a soft, rice-based cheese castella with fresh whipped cream and sweet mango, allowing guests to enjoy both a moist, tender texture and the refreshing flavor of real fruit.
The naturally soft, soothing taste of the Rice Hare Cheese harmonizes beautifully with the rich creaminess of the whipped cream and the vibrant tanginess of mango, making it a delightful treat for guests of all ages. In particular, we intentionally crafted this dessert using rice instead of flour, so that even those who usually find flour-based desserts heavy can enjoy it with ease and comfort.
Q. What is the history behind this Rice Castella?
This product was inspired by our representative menu item, the Rice Hare Cheese. The Rice Hare Cheese is a signature staple that Hare, Hare has carefully perfected over a long period, offering a beautiful harmony between a moist, rice-based castella and rich, smooth cheese flavors.
At Hare, Hare, we have always prioritized high-quality ingredients and a comforting, consistent taste, driven by our vision to create baked goods and desserts that anyone can enjoy comfortably. Among our creations, the Rice Hare Cheese—crafted from rice rather than flour—has been widely loved as a gentle dessert that minimizes digestive discomfort while retaining a remarkably soft, savory flavor.
The newly introduced Petit Hare Cheese builds upon these strengths. It was specially designed in collaboration with Greenear to offer a brighter, more unique experience for this particular occasion. By layering fresh whipped cream and mango over our signature rice cheese castella, we have captured both the comforting essence of Hare, Hare’s classic menu and the radiant vibrancy of a fruit dessert.
Q. What makes this Petit Hare Cheese particularly special?
Its defining characteristic is the exquisite harmony of flavors—combining a moist, fluffy rice cheese castella with smooth whipped cream and refreshing mango.
With the very first bite, you will experience the characteristically moist, melting texture of the Rice Hare Cheese, immediately followed by the rich yet light flavor of the fresh whipped cream. Finally, the sweet and tangy notes of mango deliver a clean, refreshing finish on the palate.
Overall, the dessert is neither too heavy nor overwhelming; its clean, gentle, and soft profile makes it the perfect guilt-free indulgence after a meal. Because it is a castella made from rice, it is exceptionally easy on the stomach, allowing guests to enjoy it lightly even during the late-evening event.
The Petit Hare Cheese infuses the smooth, comforting charm of our classic Rice Hare Cheese with the breezy freshness of whipped cream and mango. It is a menu item we highly recommend to anyone seeking a dessert that is both health-conscious and genuinely delicious.
