Walnut yubeshi with warabi flour. You can enjoy a mix of softness, the sticky texture of warabi mochi, and the taste of walnut yubeshi. The warabi mochi flour used in the ingredients was sourced from a Kyoto confectionery material wholesaler. A small amount of domestic warabi flour is included.

The sweetness of soy sauce and mirin has been added, and we have pursued a new sense of luxury in taste and packaging. The warabi-like illustration is a key point. It is stored frozen as it is a fresh confectionery. It is available for face-to-face sales, and we will provide as needed. There are two colors, but they have the same taste. It is designed to evoke the image of a mountain with yamayaki and lush mountain vegetables. The yubeshi paper is now a darker color than before. The storage method is primarily frozen, and please avoid leaving it at room temperature above 30°C for more than 2 days during the summer!

It is said to help regulate the body's condition as it contains abundant minerals that the human body cannot produce on its own. It is also expected to have detox effects such as improving intestinal environment and relieving constipation. Around this time (around Setsubun), we go out to sell at various workplaces.

Using Ako's sun-dried salt as a hidden flavor, aiming for a distinctive yōkan. Contains candied chestnuts, coarse-ground walnuts, and small cubes of sweetened azuki beans.
