Oban
Born from the desire to create 'a specialty that can rival Matsuyama's tart'—this is the story of 'Oban.' Its origin dates back to 1957. When the novelist Bunroku Shishi's novel 'Oban' was adapted into a film and shot in Uwajima, the then-mayor took the initiative to conceive this treat. It is an elegant fusion of Japanese and Western styles, featuring a soft castella sponge wrapped around a special yuzu bean paste, topped with a fine crumble of mountain yam. With the gentle aroma of yuzu wafting through the moist sponge, various confectionery shops in the city each craft their own version of 'Oban.' It is perfect as an accompaniment to tea or as a souvenir. It is a timeless flavor filled with the pride of Uwajima.
