Asagawa Mito no Ume
One of the representative confectionery specialties of Mito is this 'Mito no Ume'. It is produced by Asagawa, a long-established shop founded in Meiji 5 (1872). Mito is home to Kairakuen, a famous spot for plum blossoms, and is a land where many plum-themed sweets have been created. Mito no Ume consists of soft gyuhi (sweet rice cake) and white bean paste, carefully wrapped one by one in red shiso leaves pickled in plum vinegar. The aroma of the shiso and the subtle acidity of the plum vinegar add a sharp depth to the elegant sweetness of the white bean paste. Upon taking a bite, the refreshing scent of shiso spreads softly, followed by the gentle sweetness of the bean paste, making it perfect to accompany tea. It is a traditional Japanese sweet that has been loved for a long time, uniquely embodying the plum culture of Mito.
