Ukai Habutae - Flying Ayu
An elegant sweet shaped like an ayu (sweetfish), inspired by the cormorant fishing (ukai) on the Nagara River. On the Nagara River flowing through Gifu City, cormorant fishing—said to have a 1,300-year history—has been cherished as a summer tradition. The ayu is also the prefectural fish of Gifu, and wagashi shaped like this fish are among the representative confections of Ghibu. "Flying Ayu" features gyuhi bean paste wrapped in a chewy habutae mochi dough, gently baked into the shape of an ayu. A soft texture and elegant sweetness spread pleasantly through the mouth. Its adorable appearance with small eyes is also part of its charm. It has long been loved as a souvenir that conveys the atmosphere of Gifu during the cormorant fishing season. Please enjoy it slowly with Japanese tea.
