Iizuka Ohajiki
Small, colorful dry confections lie scattered in the palm of your hand. These sugar candies, shaped like 'ohajiki' (traditional Japanese marbles), are delightful just to look at. Once placed in the mouth, they crumble softly, and an elegant sweetness gently dissolves. Iizuka is a land with deep ties to Japanese confectionery, having flourished as a post town on the 'Sugar Road' extending from Nagasaki. In this city, where sugar culture took root, adorable dry sweets shaped like ohajiki have been made during the Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival) season. This item is enjoyed as a seasonal delight during the Iizuka Hina Festival, which heralds the arrival of spring and sees the town decorated with Hina dolls. One by one, each bite spreads a soft sweetness and the feeling of approaching spring.
