Mint Yokan
As you take a bite, the gentle sweetness of the yokan is followed by a refreshing burst of mint coolness. Despite being a traditional Japanese sweet, it feels remarkably breezy and leaves a clean aftertaste—a mysteriously addictive flavor. This confection is crafted by Seigetsu, a long-established confectionery shop in Kitami. It has been a flagship item since the company's founding in 1935, representing a unique wagashi that honors Kitami's history as a once world-leading mint production center. The concept of infusing the freshness of locally grown mint into yokan preserves the memory of the 'Mint Kingdom' even today. We recommend enjoying it chilled, alongside cold water or barley tea. It is a distinctive treat that allows you to experience the history of Kitami in a single bite.
