Shoeido Yoshitsune Sakura
A Japanese confection inspired by Hiraizumi, featuring the gentle aroma of cherry blossoms. It is crafted by Shoeido, a long-established shop in Ichinoseki City that has continued its tradition for over a hundred years since the 36th year of the Meiji era. This treat was created while reflecting on Minamoto no Yoshitsune and the cherry blossoms of Hiraizumi, where he met his end. The bean paste, made with salt-pickled cherry blossoms, carries a brilliant fragrance and a moderate saltiness that enhances its elegant sweetness. It is a flavor unique to Shoeido, which has cherished the art of confectionery using local ingredients in the Ichinoseki/Hiraizumi region, where the legends of Yoshitsune and Benkei remain deeply rooted. A famous confection you will want to savor while reflecting on history on your way back from visiting the World Heritage site of Hiraizumi. Within every cherry blossom petal, an ancient tale resides.
