Oinotomo
In Matsusaka, there is a monaka that has been loved for over four hundred years. Oinotomo is a famous Matsusaka confection crafted by Yanagiya Hozon, an established shop founded in the third year of Tensho (1575). It began as the official confectioner for the Gamo clan in Omi and moved to Matsusaka along with the castle town. This elegant treat features white bean paste softly wrapped in gyuhi and sandwiched between monaka wafers; it is said that the wafers are engraved with patterns inspired by ancient Chinese roof tiles. It is told that the name 'Oinotomo' was given later, embodying the wish for an 'everlasting companion.' It possesses a profound, heart-warming sweetness that makes you want to stay by its side for a long time. A taste of Matsusaka that you will want to enjoy for years, perfect as a snack with tea or as a gift.
