Kagiya Masaaki Obaku
This is 'Obaku,' a famous confection made by the Uji-based Japanese confectionery shop 'Kagiya Masaaki,' inspired by Manpuku-ji Temple in the Obaku sect. Manpuku-ji is the head temple of the Obaku sect, founded by Master Ingen, who arrived from China in 1661. Even today, it remains a Zen temple rich with an exotic atmosphere, deeply imbued with Chinese influence. Master Ingen is also known as the person who introduced many cultural elements to Japan, such as kidney beans (ingen-mame), sencha tea, and 'Fucha Ryori' (Zen Buddhist cuisine). This confection reflects the refined essence of that temple's heritage. It is a flavor where the history of the ancient capital, Uji, meets the Zen culture brought from China. It is a Japanese sweet that invites you to savor it deeply alongside fragrant tea.
