Iwakuni Lotus Root Uirou

A somewhat rare Uirou (sweet steamed cake) where Yamaguchi-style Uirou meets Iwakuni lotus root. Produced by Hoeido in Kudamatsu City. Pieces of Iwakuni lotus root are incorporated into the chewy Uirou dough. The characteristic jiggly texture of Yamaguchi Uirou is paired with the crunchy texture of the lotus root, creating a mysterious and enjoyable accent. This combination of a representative vegetable from Iwakuni and a traditional confection made with bracken starch is a unique specialty of Yamaguchi. Chewy and crunchy—the interesting part of this sweet is enjoying both textures simultaneously. You can also faintly taste the flavor of the lotus root. A playful Uirou that truly represents Yamaguchi.
