In Fukushima, there is a traditional Japanese sweet that has been loved across generations. 'Kaden Yubesi' from 'Kannoya', with a history of over 160 years, transcends the boundaries of mere confectionery and embodies the culture and wishes of Fukushima, truly a 'culinary work of art'.
At first glance, you will be captivated by its unique shape. The thinly rolled dough is pinched from three sides, wrapping the sweet bean paste inside, resembling the **'姿 of a crane spreading its wings'**. The Yubesi, reflecting the image of the crane, revered as an auspicious bird since ancient times, continues to accompany scenes wishing for people's happiness as gifts and for celebrations.
Taking a bite, you will first be enchanted by its surprisingly **'chewy texture'**. The dough, steamed to perfection using carefully selected soy sauce and sugar in just the right balance, enhances the salty flavor of the dough and the sweetness of the smooth bean paste trapped inside. This golden ratio of 'sweet and salty' is the secret taste that Kannoya has preserved.
A strong yet delicate confectionery culture nurtured by the Tohoku region. Why not experience the unchanging traditional design and taste that has remained for over 100 years for yourself?
