Taroan Kitekutasure
This Japanese confection from Taroan is named after a passage in a letter written by Shika, the mother of the world-renowned medical scientist Hideyo Noguchi, to her son in America: 'Kitekutasure' (Please come back). Written almost entirely in hiragana, this letter is known as a masterpiece overflowing with a mother's deep affection for her son. The sweet is a simple baked good consisting of fluffy cooked Hokkaido adzuki beans paired with a gentle milk bean paste made from Aizu milk. Shika's letter is printed on the back of the wrapper. It is a warm, Aizu-style treat that embeds a mother's earnest feelings into the confection. It pairs well with strong green tea or coffee.
