Hanakamuri no Kojiro (Kojiro of the Flower Crown)
This is a confection that gently represents Sasaki Kojiro, the swordsman who fell at Ganryujima. It is crafted by Ganryu Honpo, a long-established shop in Shimonoseki. The moist, baked dough hides smooth red bean paste and chestnut inside. The dough features a swallow brand, inspired by Kojiro's finishing move, the 'Tsubame Gaeshi' (Swallow Reversal). It is said that this sweet was created to honor the hidden, gentle personality of Kojiro, who lost his duel. The name itself carries a story. With its fluffy dough and the gentle sweetness of chestnut and bean paste, the occasional appearance of chestnut provides a delightful accent. With every bite, the tale of Ganryujima comes to mind. This is a signature Shimonoseki confection that you can savor slowly while reflecting on history.
