Itoju Kasho Umoregi
Itoju Kashapo is a long-established confectionery founded in Hikone in 1809. Its famous confection, "Umoregi," was named after the "Umoregi-no-ya" (Umoregi Villa), where the Hikone clan lord, Ii Naosuke, spent his youth. As reflected in the poem passed down in the Ii family—"Even an Umoregi can sometimes bloom"—the name embodies the idea that value hidden from sight can eventually blossom. It is an elegant confection consisting of soft gyuhi coated in matcha and premium Wasanbon sugar, with the beautiful color of the matcha being eye-catching. A gentle, refined sweetness spreads as it melts delicately on the tongue. The flavor is even more special when enjoyed while reflecting on the land of Ii Naosuke's youth. Please try this famous sweet that quietly holds the history and stories of Hikone.
