Takeya Kashiten Shiogama
An elegant and beautiful dry confection (higashi) crafted by Takeya Kashiten in Nihonmatsu City. This Shio-gama is made by mixing glutinous rice and sugar with perilla (shiso) and pressing it firmly into a mold. Shio-gama is a traditional confection passed down since ancient times in Tohoku, made by combining glutinous rice flour with sugar and salt. Takeya's Shiogama is characterized by the refreshing saltiness of shiso and its visually striking colors, making it highly valued as a Japanese sweet for formal tea ceremonies. Upon taking a bite, it softly crumbles in your mouth, spreading sweetness before being sharply finished by the salty notes of the shiso. It is an incredibly refined taste where saltiness balances the sweetness. Please enjoy it slowly with matcha.

Shigetsuan Red Bean Filled Upper Shiogama
Upper Shiogama filled with red bean paste, made by Shigetsuan in Kawamata Town. Smooth smooth bean paste is nestled in the center of a sweet dough kneaded with plenty of yukari (perilla leaves). The contrast between the saltiness of the perilla and the sweetness of the bean paste is delightful. Since it is shipped directly from the factory, you can always enjoy it freshly made.
