Juichiya Fuuki Mame
"Fuuki Mame" is a traditional confection made by Juichiya, an established shop in Yamagata City. These are beautiful jade-colored bean sweets made by slowly simmering green peas while gradually coating them with sugar. The name is said to derive from the method of "fukasu" (steaming) the beans, and the kanji characters "Fu" (wealth) and "Ki" (nobility) were chosen for good luck, resulting in the name "Fuuki Mame." This local flavor has been passed down in Yamagata since the Meiji era. Legend has it that the tradition began when the owner of a local hair salon served these beans to customers while they waited, earning great acclaim. The fluffy, natural sweetness of the beans is nostalgic and simple. It makes you want to brew some tea and savor each bean slowly.
