Musashiya Kubote no Sato
A beloved local confection from Musashiya that has been cherished for a long time in the coal-mining town of Iizuka. Its adorable appearance, shaped like a sweet potato, is sure to bring a smile to your face. Iizuka is the heart of the Chikuho region, where wagashi (Japanese confectionery) making flourishes. As a land where sugar was introduced via the Nagasaki Kaido (Sugar Road), it has produced many famous sweets. Kubote no Sato features a rich yolk paste made with plenty of egg yolks, wrapped in a thin skin, and seasoned subtly with cinnamon, sesame, and salt to create a simple yet deep flavor. The faint aroma of cinnamon and sesame creates a unique taste that feels both familiar and novel. Served alongside tea, it conveys the history and warmth of the confectionery town of Iizuka. It is a simple yet unforgettable souvenir, truly representative of Chikuho.
