"Dolce Yokan Wai Cube" started selling on November 1st at "Tsugaru Onoe Onsen Fukuya" (Hirakawa City Shinyamachi Donoshita, TEL 0172-55-0200).

Original yokan mixed with proteoglycan developed by the hot spring inn. According to President Kiyoto Mizuguchi, it was developed as a souvenir aimed at overseas markets. It was said that the request for sweets was triggered by the users of the girls' association.

One set with 3 types of "Hirosaki", "Tsugaru" and "Hakkoda". "Hirosaki" and "Tsugaru" with rice cake, mixed nuts and brown sugar are mixed with Aomori dry apple and rosehip fruit. "Hakkoda" adds lemon peel and almonds to natural cheese, and Mizuguchi shows confidence that "youkan has a new texture and healthy ingredients."

The package design was selected after receiving suggestions from eight students belonging to the design department of Miyagi University (Kurokawa-gun, Miyagi Prefecture). When they were displayed at stores and voted for hot spring users, Kohei Arima from Aomori City, who had the motif of “Tsugaru kogin sashimi”, won more than 30% of the votes and was adopted.

Mr. Mizuguchi said, "For the time being, it will be sold over the counter, but we plan to expand it to souvenir shops and online sales. We want to make this Tokan made in All Tohoku as a souvenir of Japan that will survive 100 years later." Show me.

The price is 2,000 yen per set.
