Sweet Potato Sweets Packed With the Bounty of Kaga
Yamashiro Onsen is a hot spring village with over 1,300 years of history, said to have been guided there by the three-legged Yatagarasu, a creature that appears in Japanese mythology. This takeout-only sweets shop is located in the Yunogawa area, where hot spring inns line the streets, close to the Kosoyu bathhouse. Using the Gorojima Kintoki sweet potato variety, a Kaga vegetable, you can enjoy sweet potato sweets packed with the bounty of Kaga, such as a Mont Blanc inspired by Mount Hakusan, a famous peak in the Hokuriku region. The freshly made sweets are recommended as an accompaniment to a stroll through the hot spring town. The gift boxes, incorporating the ochre color of the Kaga Gosai, also make a delightful present.
Soft, Silky Bites and Subtle Natural Sweetness
The Mont Blanc cream is made with lemon-flavored fresh cream for a refreshing finish, and is perfectly balanced with the crispy homemade meringue, salty pie crust, and almond-flavored cookies. It is a light dessert that won't leave you feeling heavy even after a bath or a feast.
A Popular Gift Choice, "Baked Sweet Potato Mont Blanc"
This blissful sweet is a fusion of cream made with "Gorojima Kintoki" sweet potatoes and the moist texture of butter-scented financier dough. The golden brown color recreates the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. It makes a great gift or a souvenir from "Yamashiro Onsen" to give to someone special.
