Kameya Yoshinaga's Karasuuba-dama
A glossy, jet-black color reminiscent of the iridescent sheen on a crow's feathers—this is Kameya Yoshinaga's representative confection, 'Karasuuba-dama.' It is a small morsel consisting of smooth bean paste rich in brown sugar flavor, coated in a layer of agar jelly. Since the company's founding in 1803 (Kowa 3), this has been our flagship sweet, crafted for over 200 years. We roll smooth bean paste made with brown sugar from Hateruma Island, Okinawa, coat it in glossy agar, and add a tiny sprinkle of poppy seeds. The striking, beautiful black color evokes the image of cypress fan seeds. It is perfect not only as an accompaniment to tea but also as a beloved souvenir from Kyoto. An elegant aftertaste of mellow sweetness and deep richness lingers softly in your mouth. Please enjoy this refined morsel that beautifully complements a Kyoto tea ceremony.
