At Toraya, a beautiful yokan named "Shinsarashina" is on sale. Limited time offer from early September to mid-October.


Sarashina is a place name in the northern part of Shinano Province (currently Nagano Prefecture). It is often sung in songs as a famous place for the moon. Toraya's Shin-Sarashina seems to reflect the beauty of the moon over the deep mountains here. When you cut it, you will see a clear ridgeline and a round moon that floats under the bright red sky.



No matter where you cut it, the beautiful scenery emerges in the cross section, just like a painting. The bright colors are also beautiful.

When you put a piece full of emotion in your mouth, it immediately unravels and entangles with your tongue, giving off a soft sweetness of azuki beans. Oh, it ’s delicious. I want to drink green tea ...!



The price is 1,944 yen for the medium size and 3,888 yen for the bamboo skin package (two yokan per bottle), both including tax. It is recommended as a souvenir that will definitely please you, or as a moon-viewing sweet that you can eat while watching the moon in mid-autumn. Like a long yokan, I hope that you can see this beautiful scenery forever next year and beyond.
