Hiroshima Persimmon Yōkan Gionbō

Product description

Perfect harmony created by persimmon and sweet bean paste

Since the Meiji era (1868-1912), persimmon yōkan has been known across Japan as a specialty of Hiroshima, made with flavorful white azuki beans and pieces of dried and honey-marinated gionbō persimmons, known for their size and near-lack of seeds. With a delightful and fresh chewy texture, the distinct flavors of sweetened white azuki paste and persimmon blend together beautifully in this luxurious and naturally sweet yōkan.
