Morioka Dagashi
These simple traditional sweets have been passed down since the Edo period in the castle town of Morioka. Assorted treats such as Mamegin-to, Kinako Nejiri, and Karame-mochi, still made using time-honored methods, quietly convey the food culture of the Nanbu Clan to the present day. Mamegin-to features a unique texture made from roasted soybean flour, sugar, and starch syrup; it is said that it was originally created as a tea sweet to be presented to the local lords. The nostalgic, gentle sweetness of the soybean flour and brown sugar touches the heart. Though unpretentious in appearance, each piece embodies the long history of the castle town and the reliable craftsmanship of the artisans. As a souvenir from Morioka, it is a warm-hearted flavor that has been loved across generations.
