Aobana Tsumi
This is a rare Japanese confection that makes use of the blue flowers native to Kusatsu. It is crafted using Kusatsu's specialty, 'Aobana.' Aobana is a representative flower of Kusatsu that has been used since the Edo period as the raw material for 'Aobanagami,' a dye used for sketching Yuzen and Shibori dyeing. Its water-soluble pigment has long supported the delicate techniques of dyeing from behind the scenes. Today, it is a rare plant unique to Kusatsu. This confection, which incorporates such a traditional flower, shines with the distinct personality of Kusatsu. It is a Japanese sweet that you can only encounter here, allowing you to savor the story of an ingredient deeply connected to local culture. It is delightful to both look at and eat, making it a perfect conversation starter for your travels.
