Umoregi
The softness of the gyuhi meets the delicate, melting sweetness of Wasanbon sugar. With the light aroma of matcha rising gently, this is a refined confection representing Hikone. 'Umoregi' is a creation from Itojyu Kasho, a long-established confectionery with over 200 years of history. The name is derived from 'Umoregi-sha,' the residence where Ii Naosuke devoted himself to studies and the tea ceremony during his difficult youth. This unique Shiga specialty consists of soft gyuhi filled with white bean paste and coated in matcha-infused Wasanbon sugar. Knowing its history adds an even deeper layer of charm to the taste. Upon tasting, it crumbles delicately in the mouth, allowing a sophisticated sweetness to slowly spread. It is a perfect accompaniment to tea, a Japanese sweet that allows you to quietly feel the history of Hikone.
