Kamejirushi Mito no Ume
Upon taking a bite, first comes the refreshing acidity of red shiso and the aroma of plum. This is followed by the gentle sweetness of smooth white bean paste and the chewy elasticity of gyuhi. It is an elegant Mito specialty where sweetness and sourness overlap and melt away. Smooth white bean paste, made from carefully kneaded white kidney beans, is wrapped in soft gyuhi and then individually encased in red shiso leaves preserved in syrup. This sweet was born during the Meiji era, inspired by the plums of Kairakuen Garden. The syrup, in which Mito-grown "Fukuyui" plums were preserved, adds a subtle plum fragrance. Taking a single piece with green tea makes you feel refined—a flavor perfectly suited for a thoughtful gift for adults.
