Nagomi Ayu
An adorable sweet shaped like an ayu (sweetfish), capturing the essence of summer in Gifu. On the Nagara River flowing through Gifu City, cormorant fishing (ukai)—said to have a 1,300-year history—has long been cherished as a seasonal summer tradition. The ayu is also the official prefectural fish of Gifu, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) shaped like these fish are among the region's most iconic delicacies. This treat features soft dough wrapped around gyuhi (sweet rice cake), gently baked into the shape of an ayu. With its round eyes and plump appearance, this is a truly lovely confection. Its elegant sweetness pairs perfectly with Japanese tea. Taking a single bite brings to mind the refreshing sensation of young ayu swimming in a clear stream. It is a soothing flavor that has been long loved as a seasonal messenger of Gifu's summer.
