Kobo Shushu Shiga Choji-fu Ofurusk

'Ofurusk' is a new sensation snack that transforms Choji-fu, a traditional local food of Shiga, into crispy rusks. It is crafted by Kobo Shushu, a workshop dedicated to making confectionery that utilizes ingredients from the Lake Biwa area. Choji-fu is a type of wheat gluten said to have originated when Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who built the castle town of Omihachiman, gave it a square shape for easier transport. These square pieces of gluten are carefully coated in butter and sugar, then baked until crispy and fragrant. You can also enjoy flavors using ingredients unique to Shiga, such as local sake lees and tea. Its light texture and gentle sweetness make it perfect for tea time. Please try this new taste of Shiga.
