Eitaeru Sohonshou - Confectionery for celebrations special

In the confectionery to celebrate new beginnings, "red and white buns in a box of 2", "kotobuki candy and katsuobushi candy", "sekihan", etc. will be available. Individuals, corporations, and groups can order in bulk.

Box of two red and white buns

The "Red and White Steamed Buns in a Box of 2" is a long-lasting package that can be delivered to people far away. The texture of the dough, which is one of the deciding factors for the taste of the steamed buns, is made moist by blending in yam to prevent it from becoming dry and dry. Another feature of this product is that the ratio of dough and bean paste is determined by the long years of experience of the craftsmen at Eitaeru Sohohonsho. The price is 519 yen (tax included, same as below).

Kotobuki candy and katsuobushi candy

The "KOTOBUKI Ame and KATSUBUSHI Ame" is a set of two kinds of candies, the "KOTOBUKI Ame", in which the umeboshi candy is shaped like a turtle shell, and the "KATSUBUSHI Ame", in which the black candy is shaped like a dried bonito flake, which is good luck. Each candy is also available individually. The price starts at 216 yen and is suitable for gift-giving.

Red rice

Sekihan (red rice) is suitable for celebrations. According to Eitaeru Sohonshou, the technique of cooking okowa originally came from a Japanese confectionery store, and it is cooked slowly and carefully with the same knowledge as cooking azuki beans to contain the flavor. Based on the theory that azuki beans, which tend to fall apart when cooked, were frowned upon in Edo (now Tokyo) because they were associated with committing seppuku (ritual suicide), cowpeas, which have a hard surface skin, are used. The price starts at 486 yen.
