Ena Tsuya Karasumi
When you hear 'karasumi,' you might think of fish roe, but in the Tono region of Gifu, it refers to a completely different sweet. This is 'Karasumi,' a steamed rice flour confection made by Ena Tsuya. In this land far from the sea, real karasumi (mullet roe) was a rare delicacy. It is said that people began calling this similarly shaped steamed sweet by the same name. Made by kneading brown sugar and walnuts into rice flour and steaming it into an expanding shape reminiscent of Mount Fuji, it is a unique celebratory sweet of the Tono region. The chewy texture and the rustic sweetness of the brown sugar spread gently. It is a taste of the Tono homeland that has long graced the tables of Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival) as an offering for the Peach Festival.
