奈良県·銘菓
Kakisuga
When visiting Nara, one should enjoy a persimmon sweet. This is how the famous confection "Kakisuga" is often described. It is crafted in Naramachi, near Sarusawa Pond and close to the five-story pagoda of Kofuku-ji Temple. It is a Japanese sweet made by using candied yuzu peel as a core, which is then tightly wrapped in dried persimmon. When sliced, a yuzu swirl is revealed. The name is auspicious, combining "Kaki" (persimmon), considered a treasure trove of nutrition, with "Suga," derived from characters celebrating longevity. It is also a highly acclaimed confection, having received the Minister's Award at the National Confectionery Expo. As you chew, the sticky sweetness of the dried persimmon and the refreshing scent of yuzu unfold. It is a perfect accompaniment to both tea and wine.
