Furyudo Yamakawa

An elegant Rakugan (Japanese sweet) that uses red and white pressed shapes to represent mountains and rivers. This is a prestigious confection counted as one of Japan's three great famous sweets. This 'Yamakawa' is a confection associated with Lord Matsudaira Fumai, who was both the lord of the Matsue Domain and a renowned tea master. The design is inspired by Lord Fumai's poem: 'Floating or sinking, the maple leaves fall; their shadows are like the mountains and rivers of Takao.' It is said that the red represents autumn leaves on the mountains, while the white represents the flow of the river. Although made from simple ingredients—primarily glutinous rice flour, sugar, and salt—the gentle melting sensation in the mouth is exceptional. This famous sweet has been carefully preserved for many years by Furyudo, founded in 1890. Please enjoy this delicate flavor nurtured by the tea-producing region of Matsue along with some matcha.
