山口県·銘菓
Awayuki
This is a confection that melts in your mouth like light snow. Made only with egg whites, sugar, and agar, its specialty lies in its delicate texture. Created by Shimonoseki's long-established shop, Shokindo, it is said that the name was bestowed by the Meiji era statesman, Hirobumi Ito. This 'awayukikan' (snow-like jelly), made by setting whipped egg whites with agar, is characterized by being fluffy and light yet possessing a moderate elasticity. It possesses an elegant and profound flavor that has even been presented to the Imperial Family. Its charm lies in its snow-like, fleeting, and elegant sweetness, making it perfectly suited for tea ceremonies. The sensation of it melting the moment it touches your mouth is something you cannot experience anywhere else. It is a delicate and beautiful sweet born from the traditional craftsmanship that Shimonoseki takes pride in, once loved by the great statesman of the Meiji era.
