Zuika Kome Hyakuhyo
An elegant confection born in Nagaoka that conveys the historical anecdote of the 'Hundred Bales of Rice.' After being defeated in the Boshin War, the Nagaoka Domain was left as a scorched wasteland. In response, one hundred bales of rice were sent from a branch domain as a gesture of support. It is told that Kobayashi Torasaburo of the domain chose not to consume them but instead sold them to fund schools, prioritizing education with the belief that 'it is people who make a town prosper.' Zuika's 'Kome Hyakuhube' is named in honor of this spirit. This rakugan (pressed sugar candy) is made by combining Kanbai-ko (cold plum powder) derived from rice with Wasanbon sugar, pressed into the shape of a rice bale. Upon entering the mouth, it crumbles delicately, spreading the elegant sweetness of Wasanbon. After the original manufacturer, which lasted seventy years, lacked a successor, Zuika took over sales in 2017. It is a product filled with the heart of Nagaoka, perfect for those who wish to savor history along with the taste.
