Toraya Minazuki
This Japanese confectionery features a triangular shape, embodying the wishes of the Nagoshi no Harae (summer purification ritual). Minazuki is crafted by Toraya Honpo, a long-established shop in Fukuyama City, as a seasonal sweet for June events. Originally originating from Kyoto, Minazuki is an auspicious treat consisting of triangular uiro (steamed rice cake) dough that evokes the feeling of ice, topped with azuki beans which serve to ward off evil. It is a custom to eat this at the end of June—the midpoint of the year—to cleanse the impurities of the past six months and pray for health in the remaining half of the year. With its chewy texture and the simple sweetness of the azuki beans, it heralds the true arrival of summer. This seasonal tradition is carefully prepared by a venerable shop founded in Genna 6 (1620). Please enjoy a piece while feeling the refreshing essence of the season.
