Otsu Fugetsudo Ami-fune

A confection that recreates the shape of the fishing net boats (amifune) once used on Lake Biwa in a fragrant baked treat. This is crafted by Otsu Fugetsudo, a long-established shop with over 70 years of history in Otsu. The wheat dough is baked into the shape of a boat and coated in a ginger-flavored syrup, creating a simple and warm flavor that has been loved for a long time. For the people of Otsu, who have lived alongside the lake, boats are a familiar presence; that scenery is directly reflected in the shape of this sweet. With a crisp, light texture and a lingering subtle sweetness, it is perfect with tea and serves as a gentle souvenir of the atmosphere of the lakeside city, Otsu. Since it has a long shelf life, it is also an ideal confection to take home as a memory of your travels.
