Kata-boro
It is so hard that you can't help but exclaim, "So hard!" As you chew, the simple sweetness of the sugar and the spicy kick of the ginger spread throughout your mouth. Kata-boro is a baked sweet that has been produced in Nagahama since 1894. The name originates from 'Bolo,' a Nanban (Portuguese) confectionery brought to Japan. The wheat flour dough is twice-baked and finished with a coating of ginger sugar. During the war, it was included in care packages for soldiers and was cherished as a taste that reminded them of home. The retro tin is also lovely, making it a long-loved souvenir from the Kohoku region. With the philosophy that hardness is part of the treat, it is a one-of-a-kind sweet that grows more flavorful the more you chew.
