Hahn's Yokan (Crimson)
This crimson yokan was created in honor of the anecdote that after the great writer Koizumi Yakumo (Lafcadio Hahn), who loved Matsue dearly, and his wife Setsu moved to Tokyo, he continued to have it ordered from Matsue. Recreated by Ichirikido based on an old manufacturing manual, it uses white kidney bean paste to achieve a clear crimson color that is so translucent it allows light to pass through slightly. Its beautiful, transparent color is also very striking for celebratory occasions. The smooth melting texture and elegant sweetness are perfect as an accompaniment to tea. It is a piece steeped in story, meant to be savored while imagining the atmosphere of Matsue that Yakumo loved. This exquisite item is worth enjoying slowly along with the tales connected to the great writer. It is also a fitting choice for a celebratory gift.
