Habutae Kinuta
This is a confection shaped into a traditional stick-style sweet (sao-gashi), capturing the silk-like smoothness of Fukui's famous Habutae Mochi. Produced by Egawa, a maker known for their winter mizuyokan, this treat is primarily made from glutinous rice, sugar, and starch syrup, finished with a moderate sweetness. As its name suggests, it captures the supple texture of 'Habutae,' the high-quality silk fabric that Fukui once took great pride in. The soft mochi dough possesses a delicacy that seems to melt instantly upon entering the mouth. The way it is wrapped into the 'kinuta' shape is also beautiful, reminiscent of silk cloth. Its elegant and subtle sweetness pairs perfectly with tea. With a short shelf life of about ten days, it is an atmospheric Fukui confection that prioritizes the freshness of being freshly made.
