Dainagon-Seichou

Specially selected Dainagon azuki beans and agar is fresh

A very long-established Japanese confectioner dating back to 1630 (Kan’ei 7). The “Dainagon-Seichou” made by Kan’eido is a cute confectionary in size, but it is a luxurious confectionary with specially selected azuki beans trapped in the finest agar.

Compared to a 500-yen coin, this size is like a luxury confectionary wrapped in elegant Japanese paper.

The surface is hardened with sugar, and the grains of azuki beans are beautifully visible through the surface. It looks like naturally formed ice, a stylized beauty of Kyoto’s pastry making.

The inside is filled with large red beans, and the agar filled in between shines brightly.

The crispy outer texture is contrasted with the plump azuki beans and agar inside, which are very fresh and have an elegant taste that makes the most of the simple sweetness of the ingredients. The beauty of the shape of the confectionary also shows the traditional craftsmanship of Japanese confectionaries.
