Akadaya Seishichi Kutsuwa
A simple fried confection shaped like a horse's bit (kutsuwa), passed down in Tsushima, Owari. It is made by the main house of Akadaya Seishichi, which has maintained a shop in front of Tsushima Shrine since Bunsei 13 (1830). Kutsuwa is made by kneading flour—a blend of glutinous rice and non-glutinous rice—with hot water, steaming it, adding sugar and black sesame, stretching it into thin strands, forming double rings, and deep-frying in sesame oil. It is said to be modeled after the 'Chinowa' (cogon grass ring) used in the 'Chinowa-kuguri' ritual at Tsushima Shrine to pray for good health, and was named so because its shape resembles a horse's bit. With a traditional crispy texture that releases a fragrant aroma as you chew, please enjoy this unique taste of Tsushima, which has long been cherished as an auspicious sweet.
