Mayukomori Matcha
Gently pour hot water into a small, cocoon-shaped mass. Soon, a smooth matcha kuzu-yu (thickened starch drink) begins to rise. This is the famous Tomioka confection, 'Mayukomori.' It is crafted by Tajimaya, founded in 1892. This delicacy features carefully selected kuzu powder gently set into the shape of a cocoon, and its name is said to originate from a poem in the Man'yoshu. This famous sweet was created in connection with the history of Tomioka, where the opening of the Tomioka Silk Mill in 1872 made cocoons an irreplaceable local product. At the end of a busy day, breaking open a cocoon and pouring hot water creates a thick matcha kuzu-yu that feels like tasting the very essence of time in this silk town. It is a delightful souvenir for those returning from a visit to the Tomioka Silk Mill.
