Iroku Tart 'Yuzu'

A tart from Iroku Honpo, one of the representative confections of Ehime. The roots of this tart are said to lie in Nanban sweets (Western-style sweets) introduced by the Portuguese to Matsuyama clan lord, Matsudaira Sadayuki. Originally, it was castella sponge wrapped with jam, but it is said that Lord Sadayuki uniquely devised a Japanese-style version using bean paste flavored with Shikoku's specialty, yuzu, instead of jam. At Iroku Honpo, skilled artisans still hand-roll each one into a beautiful spiral shape. The combination of the fluffy sponge and the refreshing aroma of yuzu bean paste is a flavor you never tire of. It is truly a quintessential Ehime souvenir.
