Takeda's Kojo no Tsuki
When you take a bite of the light, airy, whipped egg white jelly, it melts away like snow. The mellow sweetness of the yolk paste revealed from within leaves an elegant aftertaste reminiscent of the moon floating in the night sky. This famous confection is crafted by Tajimaya, a long-established shop in Takeda City, Oita Prefecture. It features yolk paste—made by kneading egg yolks into white bean paste—gently wrapped in 'Awayuki,' a light snow-like jelly made from whipped egg whites and agar. Founded in 1804, Tajimaya is the oldest Japanese confectionery shop in Oita, having once served as the official confectioner for the Oka Clan. It was named after the famous song composed by Rentaro Taki, who was born in Takeda. Its fluffy melting texture is perfect with tea. It is an elegant Japanese sweet that Takeda is proud of.
