Maebashi Confection: Hirosegawa
'Hirosegawa flows in white'—a line from the poem by Sakutaro Hagiwara, a poet from Maebashi, became the name of this confection. 'Hirosegawa' is baked by Baron, a patisserie located in Maebashi City. Sakutaro Hagiwara is a poet associated with Maebashi, often called the 'Father of Modern Japanese Poetry.' The banks of the Hirose River, which flows through the center of the city, are beloved as a 'City of Water, Greenery, and Poetry,' dotted with literary museums and poetry monuments. Baron has infused that poetic sentiment into a financier rich with the aroma of browned butter and almonds. Each moist, melting bite feels like tasting a piece of poetry. Accompanied by coffee or tea, this sophisticated Western-style sweet allows you to enjoy even the literary atmosphere of Maebashi.
