Kashi Kobo Shirahata Yodaka no Hoshi (Star of the Nightjar)

A confection baked by Kashi Kobo Shirahata of Hanamaki, inspired by Kenji Miyazawa's fairy tale 'The Star of the Nightjar.' 'The Star of the Nightjar' is a story about a nightjar that, because of its unattractive appearance, was not accepted and eventually became a star after wandering the night sky. This treat mimics the mottled pattern of its wings, featuring thinly baked karinto dough coated in black honey (kuromitsu). The savory aroma of sesame and black honey creates an addictive flavor. Amidst the light, crispy, and crunchy texture, the lingering emotions of Kenji's story gently unfold. It is a romantic Hanamaki specialty that evokes the starry skies of Ihatov. It is a treat you will want to savor slowly, one piece at a time, while lost in the world of Kenji.
