Izumo Dagashi
The fragrant aroma of roasted soybean flour (kinako) and pounded grain (hattai-ko) evokes a sense of nostalgia. These are simple traditional candies passed down in the Izumo region. In Izumo, which flourished as a tea-producing area, many types of everyday candies were born alongside the elegant culture of tea ceremony. Traditional treats such as okoshi and candy sculpting made with kinako and hattaiko can still be found at shops along the approach to Izumo Taisha Shrine today. While not flashy, their charm lies in their gentle flavors that highlight the essence of the ingredients. They are perfect for snacking on while strolling along the path to Izumo Taisha. One bite is enough to suddenly stir up childhood memories, offering a snack that is both nostalgic and warm.
