Shiro Uiro

白外郎(御堀堂)

I didn't know that, Yamaguchi Uiro. It will be my new favorite.

Nagoya City in Aichi Prefecture and Yamaguchi Prefecture are the most famous places for Uiro (Uiro), but this time we will try Yamaguchi’s Uiro.

The most distinctive feature of Yamaguchi Uiro is the use of “warabi (bracken) flour,” which gives the Uiro a pulled texture.

The main body has come out. Just a quick glance reveals that it is light colored and transparent.

If you cut it into small pieces, it is even more transparent. It is pulpy. So this is the characteristic of bracken powder.

”Uiro” with a soft and chewy texture was a bit new to me, but it seems to be a common thing in Yamaguchi. It is said that Nakaya Nakahara also loved Yamaguchi’s “Uiro” very much.

The rustic sweetness and pulled texture make it crunchy. It also has a feeling like kuzu-kiri (kudzu starch cake). Personally, I prefer this “Uiro” by far.
