Karukan
When you bite into the softly steamed white dough, a chewy elasticity and a subtle, natural sweetness spread through your mouth. The moist mouthfeel unique to Japanese yam leaves an elegant aftertaste. Karukan is a representative confection of Kagoshima, steamed using Japanese yam and rice flour. It is written with the characters for 'light steamed cake,' originating from the fact that the dough becomes lighter when steamed. The combination of Japanese yam, which grows well in the well-drained Shirasu plateau, and sugar, which was easily accessible, has taken root in the Satsuma region since the Edo period. The pure white appearance produced by the abundant amount of yam speaks to its high quality. A single piece with tea. The simple yet profound sweetness allows your heart to unwind.
