Ichirikido Matsue Aoi
This Monaka (wafer sweet) was baked by Ichirikido, a long-established confectionery in Matsue founded during the Horeki era, in the shape of the Mitsuba Aoi (triple hollyhock) crest of the Matsudaira clan, the lords of the Matsue Domain. Ichirikido is a prestigious confectionery that served as the official confectioner for the Matsue Domain during the Edo period. This is a dignified item characteristic of Matsue, a castle town where the culture of the great lord Matsudaira Fumai, who loved the tea ceremony, still lives on. Its neat appearance, which evokes history, is also part of its charm. Inside the fragrant, crispy wafer is a generous amount of moist, slow-cooked bean paste. The lightness of the wafer and the elegant sweetness of the bean paste melt together to enrich your tea time. It is a representative masterpiece of Matsue, beloved as a dry sweet (higashi) for tea ceremonies. Please enjoy this flavor unique to the tea-producing region of Matsue.
