Tenpyoan Tsuki no Fune
'In the heavenly sea, clouds rise like waves; a moon boat appears, rowing to hide within a forest of stars.' Tenpyoan's 'Tsuki no Fune' (Moon Boat) is named after this poem by Kakinomoto no Hitomaro found in the Man'yoshu. This single bite of confectionery reflects the fantastical world of the poem, which envisions the night sky as a sea, the moon as a boat, and shining stars as a forest. Baked by Tenpyoan, which has its main store in Miwa, Sakurai City, this tart-style sweet is baked to a crispy, fragrant finish, topped with nuts such as almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds, along with cacao nibs. In the Man'yoshu era, the moon boat was sung of as something that connects loved ones. A Western-style sweet that allows you to feel the historical romance unique to Nara. Please let your thoughts wander into the world of Man'yoshu during your tea time.
