Akashiya Karukan
The original Karukan from Akashiya, which can be called synonymous with Kagoshima's famous confectionery. The company was founded in the first year of Ansei (1854). It is said to have begun when the first proprietor, Rokubei Yashima, was invited by the lord of the Satsuma Domain, Shimazu Nariakira, and traveled from Akashi in Harima to begin making sweets here. Karukan is a simple steamed confection made only with Japanese mountain yam (jinenjo), rice flour, and sugar. The pure white, fluffy cake is charming for its moist texture and subtle flavor of mountain yam. Because nothing extra is added, the flavors of the ingredients quietly stand out. It is a pride of Satsuma, passed down for over 170 years. If you visit Kagoshima, this is a treat you must taste.
