Oharagi
In Suzuka, there is a half-moon shaped sweet that has been loved for over three hundred years. Oharagi is a renowned specialty of Suzuka, said to have originated from Ohara-gi Honpo Daitokuya Chokyu, founded in the first year of the Kyoho era (1s16). It is an adorable treat consisting of a thin, oval-baked wheat flour dough topped with chunky red bean paste and folded in half into a crescent shape. Legend has it that its origin lies with a Kishu lord who visited Yase-Obara in Kyoto and had them made as a commemoration of his visit. The 'gi' (tree) in 'Oharagi' is said to be inspired by the 'Fudan-zakura' (Everlasting Cherry), a natural monument at the local Koyasu Kannonji Temple. The harmony between the simple dough and the chunky red bean paste creates a delicate and refined flavor that pairs perfectly with tea ceremonies. If you visit Suzuka, this historic confection is something you must taste.
