This is a Japanese confectionery derived from the mythology of the nearby
Tamasaki Shrine. This Japanese confectionery expresses the myth of two
balls that manipulate waves. Please bring to the leisure of the sea.
“Tamasaki Shiomitsutama Shiohirutama” is a Japanese confectionery made
of wasanbon, quality sugar that has been highly appreciated since the Edo
period. This confectionery contains crushed peanuts of local specialty
“Chiba-handachi” before being baked in an oven. Elegant sweetness of wasanbon
is melted in the mouth. At the same time, you can enjoy a crisp texture
as well as a deep flavor. You can also appreciate a unique taste of brown
sugar that has been used for Rikyu-manju (a representative Japanese brown
sugar cake) since the Edo period. Salty butter used as secret ingredients
clarifies the taste.
This confectionery is made with an image of the myth of Tamayorihime no
mikoto goddess who is enshrined in the local Tamasaki Shrine. It is important,
therefore, that two pieces are packed in one package.
This confectionery with its unique shape and texture is highly appreciated
by many people as gifts or souvenirs.
Moreover, bite-size confectionery with elegant shape is highly appreciated
when used in the traditional tea ceremony.
Tamasaki Shiomitsutama Shiohirutama was recognized as Chosei County’s sweet
of choice.
Tamasaki Shiomitsutama Shiohirutama won the Monde Selection 2014-2016 World
Selections Silver Quality Award.
