Yamagata Yubeshi (Walnut & Sesame)
This is the Yamagata version of 'Yubeshi,' a traditional confection passed down since ancient times in Tohoku. It is said that Yubeshi originated by grinding rice that had broken during harvest, mixing it with sugar and soy sauce, and shaping it by hand. Since yuzu grows poorly in Tohoku, a characteristic feature is using walnuts instead of yuzu. It is a sweet born from the wisdom of local life. This version features two types kneaded into the dough: walnut and sesame. The fragrant walnuts and rich sesame flavor pair perfectly with the chewy mochi dough. There is also the joy of comparing the two flavors. Its simple, lingering, gentle sweetness has long been a staple for accompanying tea.
