Mizuki-en Noda Salt Cookies

These cookies carry forward the history of Noda salt, which once supported the 'Salt Road.' They are made by Mizuki-en in Noda Village. In the Edo period, salt was produced in this region using a method called 'jiki-ni' (direct boiling), where seawater was slowly boiled down over wood fires, then loaded onto oxen and transported inland through steep mountain paths. The merchants who carried the salt were known as 'Noda Beko,' and their route eventually became known as the 'Salt Road.' The mineral richness of this historic Noda salt adds a mellow accent to the sweetness of the butter cookies. It is a deeply flavorful treat that allows you to taste the very story of its history. A single piece lets you savor the journey through Noda Village's past.
