Tsuru no Tamago (Crane's Egg)

Located in the northwestern part of Kagoshima Prefecture, Izumi City is Japan's number one destination for migrating cranes. From around October to March each year, over 10,000 Hooded Cranes and White-naped Cranes arrive to overwinter. It is an internationally precious site where a large portion of the world's Hooded Crane population gathers. 'Tsuru no Tamago' is a famous confection inspired by this city of cranes. It is a manju with white bean paste gently shaped like an egg, and it is widely enjoyed as a souvenir during the crane migration season. The mellow, elegant sweetness of the white bean paste provides a soothing comfort to the heart. It is a treat you will want to enjoy while imagining the grand sight of cranes descending. Please try the famous Izumi confection, Tsuru no Tamago.
