Yamaga Yokan
Moist and soft, a single bite allows an elegant sweetness to slowly spread. Despite being called yokan, it has a gentle mouthfeel reminiscent of mochi. Yamaga Yokan is a famous sweet that has been enjoyed by the people of Yamaga since the beginning of the Meiji era. Because it uses rice flour instead of glutinous rice, it remains soft even after time has passed. It is said to have originated as a rolled yokan, where smooth bean paste was wrapped in dough made by steaming and spreading thin rice flour. The bean paste, with its subtle hint of saltiness, creates a simple flavor that never grows old. It has long been loved by those visiting the Yamamen hot spring resorts. A local sweet with gentle sweetness passed down in this hot spring town. Please enjoy the atmosphere of Yamaga along with your tea.
