Sakou Keiran
Keiran is a traditional local confection from Kazuno that looks exactly like a chicken egg. It has been served as an ceremonial food in the Kazuno region since the Muromachi period and is an essential dish for New Year's celebrations and special occasions. It is crafted by Sakou, a Japanese confectionery shop in Hanawa. Inside the egg-shaped white mochi, there is a flavorful smooth red bean paste (koshian) mixed with walnuts, pepper, and salt. The unique way to enjoy it in Kazuno is to gently float it in clear dashi soup (sumashijiru). The sweetness of the bean paste and the aroma of the broth create a truly mysterious harmony. It is a profound flavor that is unforgettable once tasted. This heartwarming local confection keeps the food culture of Kazuno alive even today. Please give it a taste.
