Kurata Soy Sauce Macaron

Soy sauce and macarons—the "Kurata Soy Sauce Macaron" masterfully brings together this seemingly mismatched combination. This much-talked-about Japanese-Western fusion sweet was born from a collaboration between a long-established confectionery in Akita and a historic soy sauce brewery. The maker is Okashi no Kurata, a venerable shop founded in the Kaei era with its main store located in Yuzawa City. They mix light salt soy sauce from Kakunodate's long-established Ando Brewing into a batter of whipped egg whites and almonds, baking each one by hand. A unique feature is its slightly unusual conical shape, unlike traditional round macarons. The savory aroma of soy sauce harmonizes surprisingly well with the gentle sweetness of the macaron. This unexpected balance has been featured in the media and is gaining popularity as a new specialty of Akita.
