Meika Satogaki (Meimondo Chihara)
With a simple and warm appearance that looks just like a real dried persimmon—this is 'Satogaki,' a signature confection from Meimondo Chihara in Fukuchiyama. It is a proven masterpiece, having been honored with the Prime Minister's Award at the Kanazawa Confectionery Expo. Fine pieces of dried persimmon are kneaded into smooth red bean paste (koshian), gently wrapped in soft gyuhi (sweet rice dough), flattened, and coated in sugar. Founded in 1611 (Keicho 16), Meimondo Chihara is a prestigious shop that once served as the official confectioner for the Miyazu Domain. It has been beloved by the local community for generations. This Fukuchiyama masterpiece is best enjoyed slowly alongside a cup of tea. The harmony between the soft sweetness of the dried persimmon and the chewy texture of the gyuhi creates an elegant treat that evokes the essence of autumn.
