Negoro-ji Confectionery
This is a signature confectionery of Iwade City, named after the renowned temple Negoro-ji in Kishu. Negoro-ji is the head temple of the Shingi Shingon sect, founded by Kobo Daishi Kakuban. It reached its peak during the Muromachi period, flourishing as a massive temple complex with hundreds of sub-temples. Although much was lost during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Kishu, precious structures such as the Great Pagoda and Daishi-do Hall survive to this day. This sweet, which uses the long history and atmosphere of the temple as its motif, has been cherished as a commemorative souvenir for pilgrims. Its simple yet elegant sweetness is a flavor fitting for such an ancient and prestigious temple. It is a perfect treat to accompany tea. Please enjoy it slowly during a moment of relaxation after visiting Negoro-ji.
