Saoshika
It appears light and airy, but once you take a bite, it surprises you with its incredibly chewy and moist texture. An elegant sweetness melts away on your tongue. Saoshika is a steamed confection crafted by Fujiya in Tokushima City. It is a shaped sweet (saomono) steamed using the power of tsukune-imo (mountain yam) to lift a batter made of japonese rice flour, mochi flour, and high-quality eggs. The design is beautiful, featuring sweetened Dainagon red beans arranged to resemble the spots on a fawn, with matcha lines depicting green autumn leaves. Because it uses Tokushima's specialty Wasanbon sugar, the sweetness is not cloying but refined and crisp. With a history of over 150 years, each piece is still handmade one by one. It is a slightly luxurious Tokushima masterpiece, perfect as an accompaniment to tea or as a gift for someone special.
