In Fukushima, there is a traditional Japanese sweet that has been loved across generations. 'Kaden Yubeshi' from 'Kannoya', which has a history of over 160 years. It transcends the boundaries of mere confectionery, embodying 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, enveloping the sweet bean paste, 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, whether for celebrations or gifts.
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, achieves an exquisite balance. The savory aroma enhances the saltiness of the dough and the sweetness of the smooth bean paste contained within. This golden ratio of 'sweet and salty' is the secret flavor 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?
