Mount Homan (Baien Kashidokoro)
Baien Kashidokoro is located on the approach to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Its most iconic confection is a stick-shaped sweet named after the sacred peak, 'Mount Homan.' Baien Kashidokoro was founded in 1948. It was born from the founder's desire to create 'confections that brighten people's hearts' after seeing the town reduced to scorched earth. Mount Homan is a unique Japanese sweet made only with eggs, sugar, agar, and starch syrup, resulting in a mysterious texture found nowhere else; it is also a prestigious item traditionally offered to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Its auspicious name, meaning 'a mountain where treasures overflow,' is also part of its charm. With the concentrated richness of eggs and a sophisticated, delicate sweetness that melts in your mouth, it is a quintessential Dazaifu treat that you'll want to take home along with your memories of visiting Tenjin-sama, the deity of learning.
