Tajimaya Shinise Kojo no Tsuki
A representative confection of Oita, bearing the name of the famous Meiji/Taisho era masterpiece 'Kojo no Tsuki' (Moon over the Ruined Castle). Its specialty is a melt-in-your-mouth texture, light as fresh snow. The maker, Tajimaya Shinise, was founded in 1804 and is the oldest Japanese confectionery shop in Oita, having served as the official confectioner for the Oka Clan. This sweet, which features yolk bean paste softly wrapped in 'awayuki' (light snow-like) agar, was presented to lords during the Edo period and was known as 'Yogoshi no Tsuki.' In 1934, it was renamed to its current name in honor of the famous song composed by Rentaro Taki, modeled after Oita's Oku Castle. An elegant item steeped in history and storytelling. If you travel to Taketa, this is a sweet you must pick up.
