Kobato Douraku
An adorable pigeon-shaped dry confectionery, made with the wish for 'constant joy' (a play on words involving 'mame/beans'). Made by Toyosima-ya, a long-established Kamakura shop famous for Hato Sablé, 'Kobato Douraku' is a type of rakugan (Japanese sugar candy) born in 1921. It combines red pea flour and roasted soybean flour with Wasanbon sugar, shaped into plump little pigeons. Infused with the wish that you will 'spend your time joyfully and diligently,' when you open the bag, five little pigeons are perched adorably in a row. When placed in the mouth, the fine sweetness of the Wasanbon sugar gently crumbles away. It is an auspicious item that provides comfort whether you are looking at it or eating it. It is a famous confection that has been loved for a long time as a staple Kamakura souvenir.
