Ayano Ito
A delicate and beautiful sweet that gently mimics the shape of silk thread—this is Ayabe's famous confection, 'Ayano Ito.' It is a long-beloved local item that reflects the history of a town that prospered through sericulture. Ayabe has been a 'Silk Capital' since ancient times, where high-quality silk thread was highly valued. Ayano Ito is crafted by shaping this specialty silk thread into an pressed-candy style. It is a prestigious sweet that has even been purchased by the Imperial Household Agency. It is a masterpiece truly fitting for the birthplace of Gunze. This high-quality confection from Ayabe is also perfect as a gift or souvenir. You can enjoy it as is, or pour hot water over it to enjoy it as a kuzu-yu (thickened starch drink). With its gentle sweetness and smooth texture, please enjoy it while reflecting on the history of Ayabe.
