    繁華街の小綺麗な店舗。出来たて(蒸したて)を提供してくれるので買った直後はものすごく熱い。手提げのビニール袋にも空気を逃がす穴が空いているが、とても抜けきれないので、暫くそのままにしておくと、中の包装紙がふにゃふにゃになってします。甘さを抑えたこしあんで、優しい味なので年齢を問わず好まれるのではないか。どうやら水曜日が休みなのか、津市駅の直売も売っていなかった(翌日買いましたけど)。

    Isuzu Seigoan, located in Futami Town, Ise City, Mie Prefecture, which is famous for Meoto Iwa (paired rocks), sells “Iwato no shio yokan,” a well-known Futami sweet. The secret of this sweet is a salt “Futami Iwato no Shio”, which is harvested by boiling water from the Futami Kouzaki coast, where fresh water and salt water mix. The “shio yokan” (salted sweet bean jelly) is made by taking carefully selected azuki beans and kneading this salt into them, giving it an exquisitely balanced taste that is salty and yet refreshingly sweet. It may be a small shop, but there is an eating space where you can enjoy a matcha tea and shio yokan set.
