秋田県·銘菓
Morokoshi
Known as a famous confection of Kakunodate, Morokoshi is a type of dry sweet (higashi) similar to Rakugan, made by compressing adzuki bean powder in wooden molds. It is said that the name originates from the Lord of the Kubota Domain, who tasted this sweet and praised it, saying it was 'better than all other sweets.' This confection has existed in Akita since ancient times and is even recorded as a product of Kakunodate in books from the Edo period. During the Showa era, shops emerged that refined this traditional sweet into its current form, establishing it as Kakunodate's signature treat. Its defining characteristics are its crisp, melt-in-the-mouth texture and the elegant sweetness of the adzuki bean. It is the perfect item to enjoy with tea while strolling through the streets of the samurai residences. Please experience this simple yet profound taste of Akita's Japanese tradition.
