A jewel-like jelly confection made by setting Japanese fruit with agar, granulated sugar, and starch syrup.
A dried jelly confection from Nagano Prefecture with a 100-year history. It is made by combining fully ripened Japanese fruit juice with agar, granulated sugar, and starch syrup. The jelly is then coated with oblaat wafer paper and dried to concentrate the flavors and extend its shelf life. It comes in six flavors: apricot, ume, peach, grape, sanpoukan citrus, and apple. Its texture is similar to Okina Ame, a traditional Niigata confection made with starch syrup and agar, and it has a rich, jam-like flavor. Free of artificial flavors and colors, these gently flavored sweets have always been handmade by skilled artisans.
The name “Misuzu” comes from “misuzukaru,” a poetic epithet associated with the former Shinano Province. It was taken from two poems in the Man'yoshu anthology, composed by Kume no Zenji and Ishikawa no Iratsume.
Misuzuame is available in cellophane-wrapped and washi paper-wrapped varieties, with a wide range of package sizes. It is suitable both for enjoying at home and as a gift. It can be purchased at the Ueda Main Store in the city where the company was founded, the MIDORI Nagano Store in the JR Nagano Station building, and department stores and other retailers.
