Iroku Tart
A swirl of bright yellow yuzu bean paste is visible in the beautifully rolled cross-section. With a single bite of the soft, fluffy sponge, the refreshing aroma of yuzu gently wafts through your senses. Iroku Tart is a traditional Matsuyama confection made by rolling smooth bean paste infused with Ehime-grown yuzu inside moist sponge cake. Iroku Honpo was founded in the 16th year of the Meiji era, which is the origin of the name 'Iroku' (Sixteen). This sweet, which features bean paste instead of jam wrapped in sponge, represents a unique fusion of Japanese and Western styles characteristic of Ehime; it is said that the local feudal lord, Matsudaira Sadayuki, drew inspiration for it from Nanban (Western) confectionery. With its gentle sweetness and yuzu fragrance, it is perfect with tea. The adorable spiral pattern when sliced makes it a simple, delicious treat that leaves you reaching for just one more piece.
