Kasho Rokube: Tanba Chestnut Decchi Yokan
The excitement felt at the moment you unwind the bamboo skin—Decchi Yokan offers a joy separate from the sweet itself. Produced by Kasho Rokube in Kinomoto, Nagahama, this Decchi Yokan is luxuriously packed with large Tanba chestnuts. Rokube is a long-established shop founded in 1926 in Kinomoto, Kohoku. There are various theories regarding the origin of the name 'Decchi,' including that it comes from an apprentice (decchi) bringing it home as a souvenir when returning to his village. This rustic yokan, steamed and wrapped in bamboo skin, is elevated by the fluffy sweetness and texture of the chestnuts, resulting in a premium single log. It is a taste of autumn that shines with the craftsmanship of a shop rooted in Northern Omi, perfect for tea time or as a seasonal gift.
