Iwatsuki Ningyo-yaki
When you take a bite of a freshly baked cake, the sweet aroma of the fluffy batter wafts through your nose. The gentle texture feels as if the warmth of the maker's hands remains within—Iwatsuki Ningyo-yaki is a confection born from the doll town. Iwatsuki is one of Japan's leading doll-producing regions and has long been known as the 'Town of Dolls.' Its origins are said to trace back to the artisans who gathered for the construction of Nikko Toshogu Shrine, who began making dolls using locally sourced paulownia powder. Located near Edo, this land, blessed with paulownia wood and high-quality water, nurtured a rich doll culture. In this town of skilled artisans, Ningyo-yaki has been cherished as a baked sweet associated with these dolls. A warm flavor from a town where tradition lives on. Please, try one for yourself.
