Senhime Sweet Apple

Sweet bun with a rich apple flavor, named after Princess Sen who lived in Himeji Castle

Iseya Honten locates in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, is a long-established confectionery shop with a very long history, founded between 1688 and 1704, around the Genroku era. The “Senhime Suito Ringo” I bought this time is an apple-flavored milk sweet bun.

The “Sen Hime”, meaning Pricess Sen is the name of wife of Hideyori Toyotomi and Tadatoki Honda. Her mother was Oe, the third daughter of Nagamasa Asai, who is also well known in the historical drama. Princess Sen lived in Himeji for about 10 years before returning to Edo Castle after Honda Tadatoki passed away.
