Yama no Homare
This is a baked castella-style rice cracker produced since 1934 by Itoigawa's Benkyu, a company founded in 1825. Its simple sweetness, made with eggs and butter, has been beloved for many years. The name was given by the poet Gifu Soma, known for writing the lyrics to 'Haru yo Koi,' who composed the line: 'An honor of the mountains, not inferior even to Fuji.' The name embodies the wish for it to become Japan's number one confectionery. After the war, the texture evolved into its current light and crispy state, with a mellow sweetness that spreads throughout the mouth. It is a flavorful cracker filled with the history of Itoigawa and the feelings of its people. It is perfect as an accompaniment to tea and is also a delightful gift for elderly recipients.
