Noshiume
An amber-colored, thin plum sheet. When you open the bamboo skin and take a bite, a refreshing tartness spreads through your mouth after the initial sweetness—this is Yamagata's famous confection, Noshiume. It is said that its prototype was originally medicine. One theory suggests it began when someone who learned a secret recipe using plums in Nagasaki during the Edo period created it as a restorative tonic. Eventually, it spread to households as a folk remedy for summer; it is said that during the Meiji era, the third generation of the Noshiume Honpo Satoya transformed the plum pulp into a confection and named it 'Noshiume.' A cool, thin slice made by mashing ripe plums and kneading them into agar. Perfect as an accompaniment to tea or whenever you need a moment of respite.
