Description: Traya" Yokan" Japanese confections/ 5 flavors 10 pcsDescription About Toraya A maker of wagashi (traditional Japanese confections), Toraya was founded in the early 16th century in Kyoto where it became a purveyor to the imperial court during the reign of Emperor Goyozei, which ran from 1586 to 1611. Toraya established a foothold in Tokyo in 1869, after the national capital was transferred there on the heels of the Meiji Restoration. At present, Toraya has three factories and approximately 80 shops throughout Japan, in addition to a boutique in Paris. Yokan Yokan is a bar of gelled sweet bean paste made chiefly of azuki beans, sugar, and agar-agar. It is one of the most traditional of Japanese sweets and has a long history. A drawing of yokan wrapped in a bamboo sheath is included in an illustrated encyclopedia dating back to 1712, showing it was already well-known back then. Made from carefully selected, high-quality ingredients, and cooked with great patience and skill by wagashi artisans, yokan is one of Toraya’s most popular products. Toraya’s signature yokan have a long shelf life of one year. Toraya’s yokan are available in four sizes: petite, medium, large, and extra-large. 5 flavors ●Petite Yokan Yoru no Ume: Night Plum (Whole azuki beans) When sliced, the azuki beans in the yokan evoke the glimmer of white plum blossoms in the dark night and their drifting scents.
