Furyudo Asashio
At the seaside in the morning, waves crash against rocks and turn into white foam—the Matsue specialty confection 'Asashio' captures this very scene in a sweet. This Nerikiri (sweet potato manju) was created by the second generation of Furyudo, a shop founded in 1890. The dough, made from grated Japanese mountain yam from Nara, is fluffy and aromatic, gently enveloping a smooth filling of peeled red bean paste from Hokkaido. Its hallmark is its elegant sweetness and a light texture that melts in your mouth. Today, the flavor is so deeply rooted in the local culture that almost every confectionery shop in Matsue produces its own version of Asashio; it is even said that every household has its own 'favorite shop.' It is a representative item for tea ceremonies in Matsue, having been loved for approximately one hundred years. When enjoyed with matcha, the seaside scenery of the San'in region will suddenly drift before your eyes.
