Yusenpei

Yusenpei introduction

A souvenir from Unzen is hot water senpei. Yusenpei is a slightly sweet, crispy, wafer-like confectionery made by adding hot spring water to flour, sugar, eggs, and baking soda. It is said that it originated in the early Meiji period, when there were still lords at Shimabara Castle, and it was produced as a confectionery to be presented to lords who love hot springs. The crispness, light texture, and subtle sweetness that everyone likes are perfect for tea receptioners.
