Ayato
White, soft mochi reminiscent of silk, filled with candied Nanko plums and white bean paste—this is Ayabe's signature confection, "Ayato." This treat encapsulates the history of a town that once flourished through sericulture in its gentle flavor. During the Meiji era, Ayabe was known as the "Silk Capital," prospering through silkworm rearing and the raw silk industry. It is also recognized as the birthplace of Gunze. The name "Ayato" comes from the term used to refer to the people involved in sericulture. The white mochi, evocative of silk, tells the story of this land. It is a quintessential Ayabe sweet, perfect for accompanying tea. An elegant taste created by the sweet and sour notes of the plum, the mellow sweetness of the white bean paste, and the chewy texture of the dough. A heartwarming Japanese sweet filled with the history of Ayabe.
