Bungo Famous Confection: Yaseuma

It is a confection with an interesting name, but its origins date back to the Heian period. 'Yaseuma' is a traditional local snack passed down since ancient times in Oita. According to legend, it began when a wet nurse named Yase made 'uma' (a childish word for food) from flour for a young nobleman on his way to a temple in Yufu. Originally, it was flat noodles eaten with kinako (roasted soybean flour) and sugar, but Yaseuma Honpo Taguchi Kashipo has redesigned this for use as a souvenir. It is a semi-soft confection consisting of home-roasted kinako filling wrapped in gyuhi (sweet mochi). It is also wonderful that it is low-allergen, containing no wheat, eggs, or dairy. Please enjoy its traditional, gentle sweetness.
