Chichibu-Mayu
Japanese notation "ちちぶまゆ"
“Chichibu-Mayu” made by “Chichibu Nakamuraya,” a long-established confectionery shop in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture,”Chichibu-Mayu” is a very strange feeling confectionery.
It looks like a cocoon ball, the surface is crusty but very soft and really feels like a cocoon. It is pure white and lovely to look at.
It is this soft, but firmly returns to its original shape. It is interesting that it seems to remember its shape. It is like a marshmallow with a dry outside.
Inside is maple syrup from Chichibu, which gives each bite a mellow flavor. This maple syrup is a domestic product. It is a syrup called “Chichibu maple sugar” made in Chichibu. It is surprising that maple syrup is made in Japan. The deep taste of the honey and the texture of the melt-in-your-mouth marshmallows are both delicious. This is sure to be a great souvenir.
