Murakami Mini Fuku-ume
This is a small version of the 'Fuku-ume,' an auspicious sweet essential to New Year celebrations in Kanazawa, made available to enjoy all year round. Produced by Murakami, a Japanese confectionery shop founded in 1911, Fuku-ume consists of bean paste filled inside a monaka shell shaped like a plum blossom. Its shape is derived from the 'Ken-umebachi' crest of the Maeda clan, the lords of the Kaga Domain. While originally a seasonal sweet for winter and the New Year, this mini size allows you to enjoy the taste of Kanazawa's celebratory confectionery throughout the year. With its adorable red and white appearance and the gentle sweetness of fluffy cooked bean paste, a single bite spreads the splendor of a Kanazawa New Year across your palate. This auspicious sweet, small enough to fit in your palm, is perfect for a small gift. Please give it a try.
