Kasumaki (Tsushima)
Kasumaki is a traditional confectionery from the island, indispensable for celebratory occasions in Tsuma. This sweet features smooth red bean paste rolled in a castella-style sponge cake. Legend has it that its origins lie in a tribute sweet made with an abundance of sugar—which was extremely precious at the time—to welcome back the feudal lords returning to Tsushima after their service in Edo. This flavor, which has continued since the Edo period, remains an essential part of celebratory occasions and is a heartfelt sweet for the people of Tsushima. It offers a special sweetness unique to Tsushima, conveying the celebratory spirit of the island's residents. With its fluffy cake and richly sweet bean paste, this item has been carefully passed down on the island as a staple for celebrations.
