Kasho Sanzen Kurumi Yubeshi
When you bite into the chewy dough, fragrant walnuts crumble pleasantly. This is "Kurumi Yubeshi," a traditional Tohoku confection produced by Kasho Sanzen, known for their Hagi no Tsuki. Yubeshi originally took the form of "Yubimochi," which uses yuzu. However, in Tohoku where yuzu was difficult to obtain, it spread in a form where walnuts were kneaded in instead. Because it has a good shelf life, it was once valued as a portable food, and it is even said that Date Masamune carried it during battles. Made by combining carefully selected glutinous rice with walnuts and steaming them thoroughly, it offers a gentle sweetness. The simple yet deep flavor is perfect with tea. It is a deeply delicious item filled with traditional Tohoku wisdom.
