Shirasagi-ho
Each small, white, round piece looks just like a bird's egg. This is 'Shirasagi-ho,' a famous confection from Urawa created by the confectioner Kashi-no-hana, founded in 1909 (Taisho 1). It is said that the second generation of the family created it after being captivated by the beautiful sight of white herons (shirasagi) standing in Sagi-yama, Noda. The process involves cooking white bean paste with fresh eggs and coating yolk paste—which has been aged overnight—with smooth milk (white chocolate). Each piece is carefully handmade to resemble a heron's egg. Despite being a Japanese sweet, it has a mysterious bite-sized quality similar to chocolate. It is a representative confection of Saitama/Urawa, featured in places like Mitsukoshi and the Kabuki-za theater. It complements both tea and coffee. The loveliness of a single piece will surely bring a smile to your face.
