Ganzuki Cake

A confection that reimagines 'Ganzuki,' a traditional local sweet of Iwate, into a moist cake. Ganzuki is a classic steamed bread-style sweet made by mixing flour with brown sugar and baking soda, then steaming it to a fluffy finish. It is said to be named because its round shape topped with sesame seeds resembles wild geese flying toward a full moon. Originally a simple snack eaten during breaks from farm work or as an everyday treat, we have gently bridged that nostalgic flavor into a modern Western-style cake. While preserving the mellow sweetness of the brown sugar, it has been arranged to have a moist mouthfeel. This is a sweet truly characteristic of Iwate, where tradition meets modernity.
