Takayama Ukon Manju
Takayama Ukon was a military commander who remained faithful to Christianity during the Warring States period. In the castle town of Takatsuki, Japanese sweets reflecting this history are passed down. Takayama Ukon was the lord of Takatsuki Castle who undertook its reconstruction, and is known for his way of life—never abandoning his faith, even at the cost of surrendering his lands. Wagashi shops in Takatsuki have for generations produced sweets that reflect the local history, such as treats shaped like Ukon's family crest, the 'Seven Stars Crest,' and 'Takatsuki Castle,' which mimics the three-story castle tower. Enjoy this unique Takatsuki delicacy while feeling the romance of the Warring States era. Along with a warm cup of tea, please take a moment to reflect on the distant history associated with this commander.
