Akada

A simple, crunchy traditional fried snack from Tsushima. "Akada" has been made since ancient times around Tsushima Shrine in Owari. Its roots are said to trace back to the Heian period, when Kobo Daishi offered deep-fried rice dumplings to Tsushima Shrine to pray for the eradication of plagues. It is a rustic confection made by kneading non-glutinous rice flour into balls and slowly frying them in oil; no salt or sugar is used, leaving only the pure flavors of rice and sesame. Characterized by its firm texture, it is sometimes even referred to as "Japan's hardest snack." The authentic taste of the ingredients themselves has been passed down to the present day. The more you chew, the more the nutritious flavor of the rice and the aroma of the sesame spread, offering a deeply savory taste. It is a prestigious, auspicious sweet that carries the history of Owari into the modern era.
