Why did this shop make this food? There are quite a few things like that. For example, a cake made by a long-established Japanese confectionery store, or a serious sweet from a ramen shop. It may seem surprising at first glance, but this kind of thing is delicious, isn't it?

What I would like to add as such an "unexpected series" is the sweet potato made by the sake brewery founded in 1832. Sake brewery and sweet potatoes. The image does not connect at all. But for some reason, expectations are rising.

The sake brewery that made sweet potatoes is Hakurei Sake Brewery . It is a sake brewery in Miyazu, Kyoto, which was founded in 1832, and this year marks the 180th anniversary. The sake brewery started in 2010 at the pastry shop, Kura Sweets "HAKU REISYA". This pastry shop will sell the sweet potato "Sweet Potato News" this time. I see.

Of course, this sweet potato is not just surprising. Eggs are from local Kyoto prefecture. In addition, sweet potatoes, Tanba black soybeans, eggs, matcha, etc. are made from local Kyoto prefecture as much as possible.

It's fluffy! Soft!

And for the sweets, the same clean and soft blessing water "Fudosansui" as the brewery's water is drawn into the factory and used. In addition, a small amount of sake is added to bring out the umami, which plays a role in the soft taste. Clean water and sake, this is the particularity of sake brewery sweets!

This is 200 yen per piece, and there are three types available: plain, matcha, and cocoa. Yeah, it was a sweet that didn't disappoint the initial expectations and made it even more inflated. Mail order is also available, so if you want to taste unexpected sake brewery sweets, please do!
