Ganso Genjimaki Sohonten Soke Genjimaki

Located at the entrance of the approach to Inari Shrine (Tsuwano Inari Jinja) in Tsuwano, this is the original shop of Genjimaki. They continue to protect and handmade this famous Tsuwano confection that has been passed down since the Edo period. Genjimaki is a sweet made by rolling smooth smooth bean paste inside a thin, golden-brown, sponge-cake-like batter. Along with anecdotes related to the Tsuwano Clan, it has been cherished as a representative souvenir of the castle town. It offers a simple, timeless flavor created by the harmony of moist batter and the elegant sweetness of the bean paste. Because production is limited and there is no mail order available, it can only be obtained at the shop, which adds to its sense of exclusivity. It is a must-try treat when visiting Tsuwano.
