Koshonoyuki
One of Japan's three great confectionery specialties, created to celebrate the recovery of a feudal lord. Koshonoyuki is a type of rakugan (pressed sugar candy) continuously produced by Yamato-ya, an established shop in Nagaoka. It is said that when Makino Tadakise, the 9th lord of the Nagaoka Clan, was bedridden with illness in An'ei 7 (1778), this confection was presented to him and helped restore his appetite; the lord himself bestowed the name 'Koshonoyuki' upon it. It is counted as one of Japan's three great sweets, alongside Chojoden and Yamakawa. Its hallmark is an elegant sweetness achieved using only cold-water-washed powder made from Echigo-grown glutinous rice and Wasanbon sugar from Tokushima. When placed in the mouth, it gently dissolves quietly like snow. This is a treat where you can taste over 230 years of history in a single bite. Please enjoy it slowly with some tea.
