Okome Horohoro
A snow ball cookie baked by Maruya Honten in Niigata City, combining Niigata-grown Koshihikari rice flour with Yotsuba butter and Wasanbon sugar. As the name suggests, it features a light texture that crumbles delicately (horohoro) in your mouth. It won the Mayor's Award, the highest honor, at the 2013 Niigata City Souvenir Contest. This meticulous creation was born from a desire to make sweets using Koshihikari rice flour, truly reflecting Niigata's status as a premier rice-producing region. The mellow sweetness of Wasanbon sugar and the rich aroma of butter spread gently in your mouth. Its lovely snow-white appearance makes it a perfect companion for a relaxing tea break.
