Ishimura Mansendo Tsurunoko
A fusion of Japanese and Western confectionery born in Hakata, featuring fluffy marshmallow. Tsurunoko is the flagship confection of Ishimura Mansendo, founded in 1905. It was originally created to utilize leftover egg whites from the production of Keiran Somen (egg noodle), later perfected by quickly adopting marshmallow techniques introduced from the West. Wrapped in a marshmallow base, the yolk paste made from lima beans and egg yolks is presented with an elegant appearance, resembling a crane's egg. The soft, melting texture and the gentle sweetness of the yolk paste spread softly through the mouth. This taste of Hakata, continuing since the Meiji era, has long been loved as a gift for celebrations. Its refined appearance makes it perfect for a formal gift.
