福岡県·銘菓
Tsurunoko
The pure white, egg-shaped marshmallow sinks softly when pressed with your fingers. Upon entering your mouth, it dissolves fluffily, revealing smooth egg-yolk bean paste inside, as a gentle sweetness slowly spreads. This is a signature confection from Ishimura Mansendo, a long-established shop in Hakata, Fukuoka. Created shortly after the company's founding in the Meiji era to utilize egg whites, it was one of the first to adopt Western marshmallow-making techniques, wrapping kidney bean and egg yolk paste in a fluffy dough. The name is elegant, inspired by the scene where cranes once descended upon Hakata Bay. The sight of them lined up in their adorable, round, egg-shaped boxes is also charming, making it a delicious treat that you'll want to reach for again and again.
