Genjimaki (Sanshodou)
When you peel back a single layer of the golden-brown, thin castella sponge, you find smooth smooth red bean paste (koshian) wrapped moistly inside. The softness of the sponge and the elegant sweetness of the bean paste melt together seamlessly. This is a famous confection from Tsuwano Town, Shimane Prefecture, crafted by the traditional Japanese confectionery shop Sanshodou. Using a time-honored method, the sponge is baked to be moist by using extra eggs and adding richness with rice syrup. The bean paste is cooked in-house and carefully strained to remove all skins, resulting in a clean, moderately sweet smooth paste. It is a long-beloved sweet that represents the castle town of Tsuwano. Enjoy a slice with your tea for a moment of relaxation. Its gentle flavor is exactly what you crave after a tiring day.
