Toowaya Honpo Yu-senbei

A traditional hot spring confection baked with flour, eggs, and the natural hot spring water of Unzen. Its charm lies in its nostalgic flavor, with each piece carefully hand-baked by artisans. It is said that Yu-senbei originated in the early Meiji era when Lord Matsudaira, the former lord of the Shimabara Domain, ordered them to be made because 'hot springs are good for the body.' While many shops have moved to factory production today, Toowaya Honpo is one of the few remaining shops that continues to uphold the traditional single-piece hand-baking method. The aroma of freshly baked dough and a subtle hint of saltiness are truly addictive. If you visit Unzen, please try this piece that retains the warmth unique to hand-baked treats.
