Uiro

Uiro introduction

Uiro (ういろう, Uiro) has its origins in the late 19th century, around 1877 (Meiji 10). It is said to have been first sold by Sato Suzuki (1849–1922), a local innkeeper in Orinosako, to visitors making pilgrimages to Aoshima. Made primarily from non-glutinous rice (uruchi rice), white sugar, and brown sugar, this steamed sweet is a beloved traditional treat from Miyazaki, a region known as Hyuga no Kuni in history. Its simple and natural preparation, free from any additives, reflects its timeless appeal. The product is meticulously vacuum-heated and sterilized, ensuring quality and safety. Today, this nostalgic confection has become one of Miyazaki's most iconic and beloved regional specialties.
