Akafuku

Jul 16, 2013

I got this from the co-worker of the company today.
This is one of my favorite sweets, "Akafuku".I think it is the most famous Japanese sweet ,and it has the history of 300 years.That’s amazing!
It comes from famous Shinto shrine of Japan, Ise-jingu Grand Shrine.And It is sold in near Ise-jingu Grand Shrine from 5:00 a.m. to treat a person praying at there.

There is thick strained sweet red beans on a rice cake.That is very simple and also very delicious.　The raw materials are sugar, an adzuki bean (Hokkaido product), glutinous rice (domestic production), that's all.

Akafuku
It is a famous Japanese sweet, You can buy it at the main station of Tokai district and Kanto.
