    Ehime Pref. Saijoushi Higashimachi 225-2
    A long-standing Japanese confectioner that first opened in 1867. The origins of yubeshi, a sweet yuzu-citrus flavored steamed dumpling, is said to date back to the Ashikaga-period where it was a preserved food for warriors and high-class family celebrations. The shop first began when they made maru-yubeshi by hollowing a yuzu citrus and filling it with a mix of sugar, miso, rice flour and mochi flour before steaming it then presenting it to the then lord of the Saijo region, Matsudaira Sakyo. Along with their maru-yubeshi, which takes two to three months to make, they also offer other products such as a bite-size yubeshi baked covered in natural bamboo, and a yuneri made from boiling yuzu-citrus skins with sugar and soy sauce.

    老舗の和菓子屋です。 看板メニューのモナカは、甘すぎない餡で粒餡でもないく、こし餡でもない粒こし餡と言う感じです。 なめらかで食べごたえのある餡がモナカにたっぷりはいっています。 お土産に最高です。
