沖縄県·銘菓
Kunpen
When you break open the golden-brown crust, the sesame and peanut paste crumbles out, releasing a fragrant aroma. Made from dough kneaded with egg yolk, sugar, and flour, this elegant Ryukyuan sweet wraps the sesame and peanut filling in a round shape and is baked to perfection. Kunpen is a famous traditional sweet that has been presented as an official confection for the Ryukyu Kingdom. While it was once a precious treat accessible only to a limited number of people, such as the royal family, it eventually spread to the common people through the hands of chefs. Today, it is an essential part of Okinawan events, including memorial services and celebrations. With a moist exterior and a rich, savory interior of sesame and nuts, its simple deliciousness makes you want to savor each bite slowly with a cup of tea.
