Wakasakura no oyaki introduction
Speaking of oyaki, Nagano prefecture is famous nationwide in which ingredients such as vegetables are wrapped in dough made from wheat flour and buckwheat flour, but oyaki in Wakasa Town, Tottori prefecture is made of glutinous rice and non-glutinous rice flour mixed with azuki beans. It is a confectionery wrapped in bean paste.
It is said that “Wakasa no oyaki” was made in each household using a turtle shell shaped press mold engraved with the letters “large” or the name of the store that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is said that it was behaved by visitors and relatives. Currently, the custom of handmade oyaki has faded, and it is less often made at home, but it has been popular for a long time as a souvenir of Wakasa-cho and a souvenir for Wakasa Benten Shrine.
