Nanano Sato (San'endo)
Butterflies dancing over a bright yellow field of rapeseed flowers—'Nanano Sato' captures this spring scene in a sweet that melts in your mouth. It is a signature confection of San'endo, a renowned confectionery shop in Matsue. This sweet was devised by Matsudaira Fumai, the 7th Lord of the Matsue Domain, who was famous as a tea master daimyo. The rapeseed-colored dough, made moist with winter plum flour and sugar, is sprinkled with roasted brown rice to represent the flower field and butterflies. Passed down as a favorite tea ceremony sweet for Lord Fumai, it stands alongside Yamakawa and Wakakusa as one of Matsue's representative dry sweets. Upon tasting, it crumbles delicately, releasing an elegant sweetness. It is a treat that allows you to savor the refined tea culture of Matsue along with your tea.
