Choeido "Fukimame"

A local Yamagata sweet with the wonderful, mellow flavor of beans themselves.

Last update :
Supervised by :  Choeido Co., Ltd.

A famous Yamagata confection made by the long-established sweets shop Choeido, founded in 1886 and now led by its fifth generation.

The skins of carefully selected green peas are delicately removed, then the peas are slowly cooked until tender to the core to bring out the full richness of their natural flavor. Even though they are simmered over strong heat until extremely soft, they stay plump without falling apart, showcasing the craftsmanship of a long-established shop. In the mouth, they offer a fluffy texture and refined sweetness, with a simple flavor you never tire of. Their vivid uguisu green color is also beautiful, making them perfect with tea.

Another welcome point is that they are made with no additives or artificial coloring. There is also a gift-box version wrapped in furoshiki, making it a popular choice for gifts. Since they are vacuum-packed right after being made, they are also well regarded for letting you enjoy fresh-made deliciousness at home. Be sure to try this representative Yamagata specialty, winner of the highest award, the Honorary President’s Award, at the 24th National Confectionery Exposition.
