Saiundo Hoki-bo
This is an adorable Japanese sweet produced by Saiundo, a long-established shop in Matsue founded in 1874. The name "Hoki-bo" is inspired by the Tengu said to inhabit Mount Daisen. Its unique shape, modeled after a Tengu's fan, makes you want to pick it up instinctively. Carefully cooked adzuki beans are set with agar, with soft gyuhi (sweet rice cake) hidden inside. It is an enjoyable treat where the texture transforms in your mouth—from the crispness on the surface to the moistness of the adzuki beans and finally to the chewiness of the gyuhi. With its elegant sweetness, it pairs well with tea, evoking the refined atmosphere characteristic of Matsue, a famous tea-producing region. It is a deeply flavorful sweet that truly deserves its long-standing popularity.
