Sato-ya Mayuhaki
A delicate dry confection, 'Mayuhaki,' made by Sato-ya, founded in the fourth year of Bunsei (1821). Its name originates from the poem composed by Matsuo Basho in 'Oku no Hosomichi': 'Mayuhaki o katagari ni beni no hana' (With eyebrow brushes as a hint, red flowers). 'Mayuhaki' refers to the small brush used to groom eyebrows after applying face powder. This is an elegant sweet that evokes thoughts of Basho's travels through Yamagata. It consists of a single refined piece: a Fuayaki cracker sandwiched with 100% Yamagata-grown plum yokan, with an eyebrow shape delicately drawn using authentic safflower dye. The refreshing acidity of the plum and the crisp texture lend a grace suitable for tea ceremonies. It is a sophisticated item that embodies the world of haiku, enjoyable to both the eyes and the palate.
