Kasho Mushi-yokan
This steamed yokan features a freshly steamed, sticky texture that moistens and satisfies the soul. The name "Kasho" originates from the year 848 (the 15th year of the Jowa era) in the Heian period. According to legend, Emperor Ninmyo offered sweets and rice cakes associated with the number sixteen to the gods on June 16th, praying for the eradication of epidemics and the arrival of good fortune, subsequently changing the era name to "Kasho." This day is known today as "Wagashi Day," a special day that reflects the very history of Japanese confectionery. Linked to such an auspicious day, this treat offers a profound deliciousness through its rich adzuki bean flavor and simple sweetness. You can feel the depth of Kyoto's wagashi culture in every single slice.
