山口県·銘菓
Toshiro
A famous confection characterized by its chewy and bouncy texture, inheriting the lineage of Yamaguchi Uiro. The Uiro dough is studded with honey-simmered Dainagon adzuki beans. Founded in 1948. Originally, Misuke Tahara, who was an engineer for the Manchurian Railway, used the local specialty of his hometown, Yamaguchi—'Uiro'—as a base to create a confectionery that stands apart from the rest. It is said that the name 'Toshiro' was created by taking the word 'Toshiro' (meaning amateur/novice in confectionery) and applying the characters for 'bean' (from Dainagon) and 'ro' and 'ko' from Uiro. 'Nama-kinu Toshiro' is a luxurious item that requires refrigeration. The dough, crafted to allow you to enjoy a freshly steamed texture, is truly a representative taste of Yamaguchi. It is a masterpiece to be enjoyed slowly with tea.
