Onoya Akebono
The gentle red and white colors are beautiful. This is 'Akebono,' a Japanese confection by Onoya. Smoothly cooked smooth bean paste (koshi-an) is wrapped in soft gyuhi (sweet rice dough) coated with himochiko (dried mochi powder), then gently sandwiched between thin, crispy rice crackers. It is a delicate confection made through a labor-intensive process. The pale, soft colors resemble the sky at the break of dawn, making it perfectly suited to its name, 'Akebono' (Dawn). It is also a seasonal item, available only during the cold months of December and January. Because of its short shelf life, you can enjoy the delicate flavor of it being freshly made. It is an elegant sweet that pairs beautifully with warm tea during a winter moment.
