1. Hiyashi Abekawa-mochi
Abekawa-mochi arranged for summer!
The concept of "Hiyashi Abekawa-mochi" made by Mihomi Co. in Shizuoka Prefecture seems to be to eat "Abekawa-mochi" cold in the summer. The package design has a catchy "Ukiyo-e" with a modern twist, just like summer. The package also said it was recommended to be eaten chilled in the refrigerator. Open the package that has been kept in the refrigerator. Six transparent rice cakes and soybean flour in a tray are included....

Friendly milk manju that can only be found in Osaka
The “Taikohan” made by “Chidoriya Soke” in Osaka is a milk manju sold only in Osaka. The product seems to be named after Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was known as “Taikoh”.

Manju with sesame paste with a hollyhock design
The "Aoi-Kintsuba" made by Nisshodo, a long-established Japanese confectionery established in 1937 in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, is a kintsuba that is presented to Nikkō Tōshō-gū, a gift from Nikko Toshogu, which is a very appreciated endorsement. The design is a prestigious one, with the Tokugawa family crest, "Mitsuba-Aoi", in gold on a black background of Japanese paper. It looks like a round white manju.

6. Kōshu-Shingen Rusk
Delicious combination of soybean sugar & bread dough
I bought a "Kōshu Shingen Rusk" made by "Corner Pocket" a handmade bakery in Nirasaki City, Yamanashi Prefecture. It seems that a baked good made by baking bread twice is called a rusk, and the fact that it is a rusk made by a handmade bakery raises expectations. The fashionable package has a cute design, but it is a bit unique in that it has the famous "Yotsuwari Hishi" crest, the amily...

The candy is individually wrapped and bite-sized, this size compared to a miniature 500 yen coin. The package follows Kikyouya's unique design with a Kikyo flower pattern firmly in place. It looks like the "kinako-bo" (soybean flour stick) that you used to see at candy...

"Kazutoyo-no-Tsuma(Kazutoyo's wife)" made by "Nishikawa-ya Rouho" a long-established confectionery shop in Kochi Prefecture that is also famous for making "Kempi" is a so-called "Milk manju" but the name of the product is very unique. First of all, who is "Kazutoyo's wife"?

9. Kikyou-Shingen mochi
The famous Yamanashi sweets without question!
"Shingen-mochi" is a major confectionery that no longer needs explanation, but I did not know that it is a representative of Yamanashi Prefecture. Among them, the Shingen mochi made by Kikyouya is the most famous. The name "Shingen" is associated with Shingen Takeda, the lord of Kai in the Warring States Period and a symbolic figure of Yamanashi Prefecture. Shingenmochi's unique "small bento" package!

I think Kuroda Kanpei's plan got me - it's delicious.
I bought a "Kanbei's Hyoei Rice Cake" made by "Iseya Honten" in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture." It's called "Kanbei's Hyokeimochi" and is a confection associated with the genius military strategist, Kanbei Kuroda, of the Warring States period. It is a package of sweets, but it is still cool. Woooow, cool, even though it is a package of candy. It is the Kuroda clan's family crest "Fujiboe". This is also cool. It's...
