In Fukushima, there is a traditional Japanese sweet that has been loved across generations. 'Kanno-ya's Kaden Yubeshi', with a history spanning over 160 years. Beyond being just a confectionery, it 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 stretched dough is pinched from three sides to encase the filling, resembling the **'spread wings of a crane'**. The Yubeshi, reflecting the image of the crane, revered as an auspicious bird since ancient times, continues to accompany scenes of celebration and gift-giving, wishing happiness for all.
With the first bite, you will be enchanted by its surprisingly **'chewy texture'**. Using carefully selected soy sauce and sugar, the dough is steamed to perfection with an exquisite balance. The savory flavor of the dough, enhanced by its aroma, and the sweetness of the smooth filling trapped inside create a golden ratio of 'sweet and salty' that Kanno-ya has preserved as its secret taste.
The strong yet delicate confectionery culture nurtured by the Tohoku region. Why not experience the unchanged traditional design and taste that has remained for over 100 years for yourself?
