Usumizumi Yokan

A famous confection from Matsuyama, founded in 1874 by Gensaburo Nakano using a unique production method. The name is inspired by the lyrics 'Usumizumi-zakura ya hi no kabu' (Pale ink cherry blossoms and scarlet turnips) from the Iyo Bushi folk song, and it has maintained the same recipe for over 150 years. It features a unique texture that sits somewhere between castella sponge cake and traditional yokan.
