Mori-no-Yubeshi

Famous for Yubeshi that was delivered to the "Date clan"

“Mori-no-Yubeshi” made by “Kokonoe Honpo Tamazawa” a store in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture. The history of Tamazawa, a very long-established Japanese confectionery store, dates back to 1675.

The beginning of this very traditional and venerable confectionery dates back 300 years, as “Kokonoe Honpo Tamazawa” used to make “Yubeshi” and deliver it to the Date clan.

You can see the translucent, puffy texture and the many walnuts.

Yubeshi made in Kyoto and other parts of the Kansai region often contain yuzu (Japanese citron), but yubeshi from the Tohoku region often contain walnuts. It is said that this is because yuzu was hard to obtain in the Tohoku region at that time, so walnuts were used instead.

The simple sweetness of yubeshi and the moderate crunchiness of walnuts are delicious, and the quality is as expected of a confectionery that has been popular for over 300 years. It has a very elegant taste.
