Saga Nishiki

This is a famous confection that expresses the traditional textiles of Saga through sweets. Muraokaya spent approximately 10 years in trial and error to complete 'Saga Nishiki,' aiming to transform the beauty of Saga's traditional fabric, 'Saga Nishiki,' into a sweet. Since its release in 1971, it has been loved as a representative confection of Saga. It features a 'Ukishima' (steamed cake) base made by kneading mountain yam and baking it to a fluffy texture, scattered with adzuki beans and chestnuts, sandwiched between beautiful layers of Baumkuchen. It is a single log of incredibly elegant flavor where Japanese and Western styles meet. The contrast between the moist cake and the fragrant texture of the Baumkuchen is delightful, melting gently in your mouth. As a signature confection of Saga, it is a wonderful item for gifting.
