Yamato Yokan

Yamato Yokan is a unique Japanese sweet native to Kure, with roots in the former Imperial Japanese Navy. The Navy's supply ship, 'Mamyu,' produced various foods such as bread, tofu, konnyaku, and yokan at sea, delivering them to crews on distant ships. Among these, the yokan was said to be particularly delicious and beloved by the fleet members as 'Mamyu Yokan.' A confectionery shop in Kure has recreated this legendary taste, selling it as 'Yamato Mamyu Yokan' near the Yamato Museum. You can enjoy its moist flavor from high-quality adzuki beans and its elegant sweetness. Each piece is packed with historical romance. Please enjoy it while reflecting on the stories of Kure, the city of the naval port.
