Echino Hatsume

A prestigious dry confectionery from Fukui, said to have been named by a member of the Meiji Imperial Family. This is a traditional tribute sweet passed down since the Edo period by Kinmeido, the original creator of Habutae Mochi. It is an elegant dry sweet reminiscent of Rakugan, made by gently setting matcha and Wasanbon sugar with agar and egg white. Originally called 'Echino Shimo' (Frost of Echizen), it is said that when Prince Komatsu visited Fukui in 1898, he loved this sweet so much that he named it 'Echino Hatsume.' Since then, it has been a distinguished confection presented to the Imperial Family. It melts delicately in the mouth, with the slight bitterness of matcha and the gentle sweetness of Wasanbon sugar floating through. It is a treat to be enjoyed while reflecting on its long history.
