Shijonawate no Kusunoki Masayuki Monaka
Shijonawate Shrine enshrines Kusunoki Masayuki (known as Ko-Kusunoki), a loyal subject of the Nanboku-cho period. This historical Japanese sweet has been cherished along the shrine's approach for generations. Lord Masayuki was the eldest son of the renowned general Kusunoki Masashige. He is remembered as an ill-fated warrior who, following his father's will, faced a massive Ashikaga army with only a small force in Shijonawate, meeting his end at a young age. Old confectionery shops still line the shrine approach, where sweets featuring the Kusunoki family crest, Kikusui (Chrysanthemum Water), are carefully crafted to honor his memory. This flavor has become deeply rooted in the local community as an accompaniment to shrine visits. Please enjoy one after your visit. As you reflect on history, the smooth sweetness of the bean paste will surely touch your heart.
