Rakui-mo Sweets (Seika Town)
These are somewhat unusual Japanese sweets made with 'Rakui-mo,' a new specialty born in Seika Town. The characteristic stickiness and flavor of the mountain yam provide a fresh sense of surprise. Rakui-mo is a type of mountain yam that Seika Town and Kyoto Prefectural University are working together to develop as a local specialty. 'Raku' refers to the capital of Kyoto, and the initial 'L' in its Romanized notation stands for 'Lucky.' It is a visually enjoyable and delicious crop that forms a green curtain with heart-shaped leaves in summer and produces large, sticky tubers in autumn. These creative sweets, which leverage its unique, creamy texture, offer a flavor you can only encounter here. This unique item is the result of Seika Town's challenge to cultivate a new local specialty.
