In Fukushima, there is a traditional Japanese confection that has been loved across generations. 'Kaden Yubeshi' from 'Kannoya', which has a history of over 160 years. It transcends the mere category of sweets 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 up from three sides, wrapping the filling, resembling the **'form of a crane spreading its wings.'** The Yubeshi, reflecting the image of the crane, which has been revered as an auspicious bird since ancient times, continues to accompany scenes wishing for people's happiness as gifts or for celebrations.
With the first bite, you will be enchanted by its surprisingly **'chewy texture.'** The dough, steamed to perfection using carefully selected soy sauce and sugar, has a perfect balance of saltiness enhanced by its roasted aroma, and the sweetness of the smooth filling trapped inside. This golden ratio of 'sweet and salty' is the secret flavor that Kannoya has preserved.
The 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?
