O-Hitachi Soy Sauce Yokan
A yokan (sweet bean jelly) made by Shibanuma Soy Sauce Brewing, founded in 1688 (Genroku 1), utilizing their pride-worthy soy sauce. During the Edo to Meiji periods, Tsuchiura was counted as one of the three major soy sauce producing regions in Kanto, alongside Noda and Choshi, and this shop boasts a history of over 330 years. "O-Hitachi" uses only Ibaraki-grown soybeans and wheat to create raw soy sauce that is slowly aged in wooden barrels for about one year. The yokan, infused with this premium soy sauce, is crafted so that the saltiness and richness of the soy sauce add depth to the sweetness of the red beans. Within the sweetness, you can catch a sudden, fragrant aroma of soy sauce. This is a unique type of yokan unique to Ibaraki, a famous soy sauce region, featuring an exquisite balance of sweet and savory.
