Kincho-do Sohonten Ayugashi
In Gifu City, famous for the cormorant fishing on the Nagara River, sweets shaped like sweetfish (ayu) are a hallmark of summer. The "Ayugashi" made by Kincho-do Sohonten is one such sweetfish confection. Softly baked castella sponge gently encloses chewy gyuhi (mochi), with eyes and fins delicately rendered using a branding iron. Its appearance, capturing the image of a swimming sweetfish, is simple and adorable. It is a quintessential Gifu delicacy that evokes the clear streams of the Nagara River. Kincho-do is one of the long-established shops in Gifu representing ayu sweets. Among various ayu confections where the expressions of the faces and fins differ slightly from shop to shop, please try to find your favorite. It is a perfect item for a summer souvenir.
