Tsuruhei Kokura Taiko (White Bean Paste)
The white bean paste version of 'Kokura Taiko,' a famous confection crafted by Tsuruhei, a long-established shop in Kokura, Kitakyushu. Tsuruhei is a confectionery store founded in 1923. Named after the 'Kokura Gion Taiko' festival that colors the summer of Kokura, this sweet features plenty of bean paste wrapped in a beautifully toasted skin, reminiscent of the sound of a drum. Unlike the black bean version, the white bean version is characterized by its elegant and smooth sweetness. The Kokura Gion Taiko has a 400-year history and is known for its rare 'double-sided drumming' style, where drums are struck from both sides, making it a nationally designated Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. Named after this heroic festival, 'Kokura Taiko' has long been loved as another taste of Kokura.
