About Gokabo
Gokabo (五家宝) is a simple yet nostalgic sweet, characterized by the toasty aroma of roasted soybean flour (kinako). Alongside Soka Senbei rice crackers and Kawagoe’s sweet potato snacks, Gokabo is considered one of the three iconic confections of Saitama Prefecture.
Made from glutinous rice and kinako, this traditional treat has been enjoyed since the Edo period. The name "Gokabo" reflects a heartfelt wish, symbolizing the importance of the five grains—rice, wheat, millet, foxtail millet, and beans—as treasures for the family.
