Daishiya Seika Chofu
This is 'Chofu,' a traditional confection from Okayama, carefully crafted by Daishiya Seika. It is a gentle Japanese sweet consisting of soft gyuhi (sweet rice cake) wrapped in a thin, castella-like baked skin. Chofu is said to have been invented in Okayama at the end of the Edo period. The name is said to derive from its resemblance to 'cho,' a type of cloth once paid as tax. As one of Okayama's famous sweets alongside Kibidango and Ote Manju, the artisan's skill shines through the simple composition, creating a soft harmony between the dough and the gyuhi. Its simple yet timeless flavor has been loved for a long time. A profound item representing Okayama's confectionery culture. Please enjoy its soft texture and elegant sweetness as an accompaniment to tea.
