Hamayu
This is an elegant Japanese confection from Fukubishi, named after the town flower of Shirahama, 'Hamayu' (Hibiscus mutabilis). Born in 1956, this famous sweet features a three-layer structure: smooth adzuki bean paste gently wrapped in soft gyuhi (sweet rice dough), and sandwiched between crisp monaka wafers. It is a masterpiece of craftsmanship that allows you to enjoy different textures all at once—the chewy gyuhi, the crunchy monaka, and the refined adzuki paste. As one of Fukubishi's representative sweets, which has won numerous awards, it has been long loved by the people of Shirahama. While delicious as is, lightly toasting it in a toaster further enhances the crispness of the monaka wafer. Why not try this perfect Shirahama souvenir to accompany your tea?
