Biwako Yoshi Leaf

These are leaf-shaped leaf pies with multiple layers of buttery aroma. When people think of Lake Biwa, they think of the vast expanses of "Yoshi" (reeds) along the shore. These reed beds clean the water and nurture many living creatures; they represent a natural symbol of the lake that the people of Shiga have long protected, nurtured, and utilized. This pastry is baked using those lakeside leaves as a motif. The crispy, layered pie dough crumbles delicately in your mouth. With its rich butter flavor and light texture, it is a taste enjoyed by children and adults alike. Individually wrapped and having a good shelf life, it is an easy choice for a small gift. This is a signature confection of Lake Biwa, meant to be enjoyed while reflecting on the nature of the lakeside region.
