Ayuya Green Tea Chocolate Cookies
A treat that makes you do a double-take, wondering, 'A tsukudani (simmered) shop making sweets?' These green tea flavored chocolate cookies are crafted by Ayuya, a shop famous for its Lake Biwa specialties like simmered sweetfish (ayu). Ayuya is a long-established shop rooted in Katata, Otsu, near the Biwako Bridge. While known for their specialty ayu-maki and tsukudani, these cookies reveal an unexpected side of the shop. The crisp baked dough perfectly blends the subtle bitterness of green tea with the mellow sweetness of chocolate, offering a coexistence of Japanese tranquility and confectionery joy. They pair well with both tea and coffee. It is a playful use of Shiga's ingredients. This sweet makes you feel like you's found a hidden gem, allowing you to discover a different charm of Ayuya beyond their traditional tsukudani.
