石川県·銘菓
Rakugan
When placed in the mouth, it crumbles delicately, allowing an elegant sweetness to melt away smoothly. A delicate dry sweet woven from rice flour and sugar—Rakugan is a confection that has walked alongside the tea ceremony culture of Kanazawa. Kanazawa is a renowned hub for Japanese sweets, alongside Kyoto and Matsue. Because successive lords of the Kaga Clan loved the tea ceremony, the culture of confectionery flourished. Morihachi's 'Choseiden,' which is said to have been created by the order of the third lord, Maeda Toshitsune, is counted as one of Japan's three most famous sweets. From Moroe-ya, a specialty Rakugan shop established in Kaei 2 (1849), to many other prestigious shops, the meticulous techniques are still passed down today. The delicate craftsmanship of finishing dry sweets by pressing them into molds. It is a treat you would want to savor slowly alongside matcha.
