Honke Kikuya: Kikunoju
The signature baked confection that a long-established shop in Yamatokoriyama has continued to produce for over 60 years. Honke Kikuya is Nara's oldest confectionery, said to have been founded in 1585 (Tensho 13), and has been loved in Yamatokoriyama for over 400 years. Its representative masterpiece, 'Kikunoju,' consists of a dough with a gentle sweetness made by kneading in condensed milk, enveloping a filling made from a blend of white adzuki beans and Fukushirokinji beans. It is a long-selling product with cumulative sales exceeding 18 million pieces. The harmony between the moist dough and the elegant bean paste made from two types of beans clearly demonstrates why it has been loved for so long. A gentle sweetness spreads with every bite. This is a quintessential product representing Yamatokoriyama, perfect for serving with tea or as a gift.
