Kamei Seika - Saka no Ue no Kumo (Clouds Above the Hill)
This is a Matsuyama-style baked manju inspired by Ryotaro Shiba's novel 'Saka no Ue no Kumo' (Clouds Above the Hill). It expresses through confectionery the story of young people like Masaoka Shiki, who grew up in Meiji-era Matsuyama. It features a whole domestic ume plum encased in white bean paste and milk batter, gently coated with white chocolate. The sweet and sour flavor of the plum represents the passion of the Meiji-era youths, while the cloud-like white chocolate represents the single cloud they pursued. This is an officially certified 'Saka no Ue no Kumo' product produced by Kamei Seika, founded in 1963, and is also available at the Saka no Ue no Kumo Museum. It is a treat that allows you to savor the afterglow of the story through the harmony of plum acidity and smooth white chocolate.
