A long-established confectionary specializing in shigure, Ozu's renowned delicacy. It is also well-known for its high-quality wagashi (Japanese sweets) used in tea ceremonies.
Hiranoya is also well known for its “Rikka no Utage,” a treat enshrining local chestnuts: strained bean mix wrapped by pure, locally sourced chestnut paste. Each piece is generously sized, hand-wrapped with care, and shaped using a damp hemp cloth. The chestnut paste is strained twice, giving it a remarkably smooth texture, while the addition of rum enhances the chestnut flavor.
The rum added to the chestnut paste brings out vivid chestnut flavours. You can use it to complement green tea at a tea ceremony, or pair it with black tea or coffee. It has a rich expression that goes well with any companion.
