Akita Morokoshi
The moment it touches your mouth, it crumbles delicately, releasing the gentle aroma of adzuki beans. The mellow sweetness of Wasanbon sugar melts slowly on the tongue, making you crave a cup of tea—this is Morokoshi, a representative dry sweet of Akita. Made by mixing adzuki bean powder with sugar and Wasanbon, pressing it into molds, and lightly baking it to finish. It is said that the name originates from the praise: 'Surpassing all other sweets in flavor.' Originating in the Edo period, it has been loved for over 300 years as a confectionery tied to the Akita Clan. With its elegant melt-in-the-mouth texture and the subtle fragrance of adzuki beans, it remains a beloved staple for tea time among the people of Akita. It is also an item that is sure to delight as a souvenir.
