Higashiomi City is a land that produced many Omi merchants who were active in various regions. Along with that culture, the tradition of steaming yokan wrapped in bamboo skin has been passed down. This unique Shiga method involves mixing flour into the bean paste before steaming. Its characteristics are a light sweetness and a smooth, chewy texture. The aroma of the bamboo skin is also part of the flavor. The simple appearance, wrapped in bamboo skin, evokes a sense of nostalgia. Filled with the wisdom of Omi life, it has long been enjoyed as a refreshing treat for summer. It continues to be loved across generations.
