Takagiya Kami-fusen (Paper Balloon)
When you bite into the rounded monaka shell, a smooth jelly emerges from within. 'Kami-fusen' is a famous Kanazawa confection where Japanese and Western flavors softly melt together. It is crafted by Takagiya, a confectionery shop founded in 1925 south of Kenrokuen Garden. This stylish sweet features a fragrant monaka shell enclosing a colorful jelly (錦玉 - nishikidama, made from agar, starch syrup, and sugar) flavored with grape, lemon, and white wine. Its excellence is well-proven, having received awards such as the Honorary President's Award at the National Confectionery Expo. The contrast between the crispy shell and the cool, soft jelly is delightful, followed by a refined sweetness that leaves a clean finish. The box comes with an origami 'paper balloon,' making it a playful masterpiece characteristic of Kanazawa even after the sweets are gone.
