Unpeido Honten Otehashi
This Japanese confectionery is crafted by Unpeido Honten, a long-established shop in Hitachi and Omika. Founded in the first year of the Meiji era (1868), the shop has long been known for its 'Omika Manju,' a type of sweet potato manju made by wrapping smooth paste from Tokachi, Hokkaido adzuki beans in a skin primarily made of rice flour, steamed without the use of preservatives. Alongside their signature item, this 'Otehashi' is a renowned gift-grade confection. Each piece features elegant bean paste, carefully cooked from Tokachi adzuki beans and wrapped by hand one by one. It is crafted with a refined taste characteristic of an old establishment that meticulously selects its ingredients. Its simple sweetness, achieved without relying on preservatives, is truly the result of artisanal craftsmanship. It is a flavor that makes you want to brew some tea and slowly savor the tradition that has been cherished locally.
