Sengoku Romance Kenshin-ko: Tiger of Echigo

This confection was created by Minoya, a long-established shop in Joetsu City, inspired by Uesugi Kenshin's childhood name, 'Torachiyo.' Since Kenshin took the name Kagetora after his coming-of-age ceremony, he was also known as the 'Tiger of Echigo.' It features a whole apricot, which is said to have been one of Kenshin's favorite foods, encased in a mellow egg yolk bean paste and baked to perfection in a pastry crust. The packaging depicts a warlord reminiscent of a tiger, evoking the romance of the Warring States period. It can be found at locations such as Joetsu-Myoko Station. With a harmonious blend of the apricot's pleasant acidity, the richness of the egg yolk bean paste, and the crispy pastry, this flavorful confection is a perfect souvenir for history lovers.
