Shinatamaya Ameyato (Kohaku Goma - Black Sesame)
Shinatamaya is a long-established shop in Minobu that has existed since before the arrival of Commodore Perry. This is a hidden confectionery that can only be purchased at their storefront. Ameyato (Kohakuto) is a candy confection introduced from the Nanban (Southern Barbarian) trade in the 16th century. It is a historic Nanban sweet made by boiling down sugar and starch syrup. At Shinatamaya, black sesame paste is combined with this Ameyato and shaped into sticks. The savory aroma of black sesame melts elegantly with the clean sweetness of the candy. It is a nutritious stick that you want to savor as it slowly dissolves in your mouth. There is no mail order, and it cannot be found elsewhere—a special treasure from the approach to Minobusan Temple. Please stop by on your way back from visiting the temple and try this traditional candy that can only be tasted in this land.
