Okina-ame
When pinched between your fingers, it feels as soft as mochi. Once in your mouth, it gently unravels and melts away smoothly. It features a clear, pale yellow color and a perfectly elegant sweetness. Despite its light profile, the flavor lingers—this is the traditional Okina-ame passed down in Noshiro. It is crafted by Kikyo-ya, a long-established shop with over 400 years of history. No sugar whatsoever is used; instead, it is finished using only homemade starch syrup made from glutinous rice and barley, combined with agar. This flavor has been preserved for generations through techniques passed down from father to son. Because the ingredients are so simple, there is no room for deception in this product. It is delicious on its own, but pairing it with cheese offers a new dimension of taste. The gentle sweetness allows your heart to softly unwind. If you visit Noshiro, please be sure to pick some up.
