Dechi Yokan Azuchi Mondo
When you peel back the bamboo skin, a chewy yokan is revealed—this is the 'Dechi Yokan' tradition passed down in Omihachiman. Because agar was difficult to obtain in landlocked Omi, Dechi Yokan was created as a local specialty using wheat flour as a binder and then steamed, resulting in a unique texture. Omihachiman is also known as the place where Oda Nobunaga built Azuchi Castle, and the history lives on in the name 'Azuchi Mondo.' Since the area was a producer of bamboo, the traditional method of wrapping the bean paste in bamboo skin has been passed down to this day. With its chewy texture and modest, rustic sweetness, this is a single piece that conveys the warmth of handmade craftsmanship, unique to Omi. Even the time spent unwrapping the bamboo skin holds a certain charm.
