Premium Hajimari Karukan

"Premium Hajimari Karukan" is an exceptionally luxurious version of Kagoshima's traditional Karukan (light steamed cake). Karukan is a fluffy, white Kagoshima specialty made by steaming yam (jinenjo) and glutinous rice flour. It is a historic steamed confection said to have originated in the Satsuma Domain during the Edo period. In this "Premium" version, we focus on the quality of the ingredients themselves, maximizing the chewy texture and elegant sweetness of the yam. With just one bite, the gentle flavor of the yam spreads from the fluffy cake. It is a product worthy of fully experiencing Kagoshima's Karukan culture. Please enjoy this premium steamed confection.
