Zabieru
There is a story behind 'Zabieru'—a famous confection that once disappeared from the city but was brought back to life by the wishes of the people. Its name comes from Francis Xavier, the missionary who visited Bungo during the Warring States period. It is a Nanban-style sweet released by Chokyudo in 1962, featuring two types of fillings—elegant white bean paste and rum raisin paste—wrapped in moist, butter-flavored dough. However, in 2000, due to the manufacturer's business difficulties, Zabieru disappeared. In response to local calls of 'We want that taste again,' former employees established a new company the following year and resumed production. It remains a classic, beloved souvenir of Oita.

After this famous Oita confection vanished due to the closure of Chokyudo, former employees invested their personal funds to revive it the following year. The fusion of Japanese and Western flavors—featuring two types of filling, white bean paste and rum raisin bean paste, wrapped in butter-flavored dough—has remained unchanged since 1957.
