Shinonome Yokan
A yokan (sweet bean jelly) named after the dawn sky, preserved by a long-established shop in Noshiro. Shinonome Yokan is a famous confection produced by Kumagai Choeido of Noshiro City since 1829. 'Shinonome' refers to the time just before dawn when the eastern sky begins to brighten, and the wrapping paper featured a drawing of the morning sun. It is an authentic nerikyo (練り羊羹) carefully prepared with selected ingredients using a recipe said to have been passed down from Kyoto artisans. It is characterized by its smooth texture and deep, calm sweetness. For over 180 years since its founding, its flavor spread across the country through word of mouth. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has closed its doors, but it remains a masterpiece long loved by the people of Akita. It is an elegant confection that conveys the history of Akita's traditional Japanese sweets to the present day.
