山口県·銘菓
Choshu no Onago
This is a renowned Yamaguchi confection consisting of moist castella sponge enclosing elegant bean paste. It is cherished as a long-selling product loved by men and women of all ages. 'Choshu' is the old name for Yamaguchi, a region that produced many activists during the Bakumatsu period (the end of the Edo era). Named after this land, this confectionery is a fusion of Japanese and Western styles, featuring black bean paste wrapped in fluffy sponge. Its charm lies in its never-tiring flavor, where a soft texture harmonizes with the subtle sweetness of the bean paste. Its gentle deliciousness makes it perfect for an accompaniment to tea or as a souvenir. With a single bite, the moist sponge and sweet bean paste gently embrace your palate. It is a familiar Yamaguchi specialty that you can enjoy while reflecting on the Choshu of the late Edo period.
