高知県·銘菓
Kanzashi
When you gently peel back the silver foil, a sweet aroma rises from the moist, steamed dough. Inside the soft madeleine-like batter, white bean paste with a refreshing hint of yuzu is generously wrapped. Created in 1962 by Kochi's Hamayuki confectionery, this Tosa specialty was named after the story of Junshin and the horse from the 'Yosakoi Bushi' song. It features a unique foil-wrapped baking method—the first of its kind for a Japanese sweet—and when the paper is opened, a hairpin pattern created via a patented process reveals itself. With over 3.5 million pieces sold annually, it is a classic Kochi souvenir. The two-pronged hairpin pattern is also quite charming. Every time you open one, a small sense of wanderlust unfolds.
