Yamakawa (Furyudo)

Upon entering the mouth, it gently crumbles, allowing the gentle sweetness of Wasanbon sugar to melt away smoothly. It is an elegant rakugan with a moist texture. It is one of Japan's three great famous confections, as passed down by Furyudo in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. The red represents the autumn leaves coloring the mountains, and the white represents the flow of the river, originating from a poem by Lord Fumai. Although the tradition once ceased after being brought from Edo to Matsue, the second generation of Furyudo restored it during the Taisho era after approximately one hundred years. Along with Wakakusa and Nanano-sato, it is counted among the three great confections preferred by Lord Fumai. Gently break a pair of the red and white pieces and enjoy them with matcha. The elegant sweetness unique to Wasanbon sugar vanishes smoothly from the tongue without leaving a heavy aftertaste. It creates an elegant moment, as if you are tasting the mountains and rivers within your mouth.
