Texture of the dough is unique. Tochigi's traditional confectionery

“Kinu-nishiki” made by Nissho-Do, a long-established Japanese confectionery established in 1937 in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, is a very traditional confectionery that has been presented to Nikko Toshogu Shrine.

きぬにしきの個包装パッケージ

The package has a sticker on it that reads “Presented to Nikko Toshogu Shrine” emphasizing the traditional Tochigi confectionery.

きぬにしきの包装を開封

Upon opening the package, I found a type of pastry I had never seen before, a small dorayaki (?). The outer dough is moist but feels like a pancake cooked a little harder.

きぬにしきの断面

The dough seems to be made in a slightly Western taste, but the high-quality anko (red bean paste) sandwiched between the dough and the dough is a blend of Japanese and Western flavors.
