Uirou

This sweet rice confection is notable for its jelly-like appearance of the starch made from eagle fern and its soft texture. It is a renowned sweet that brings to mind “Nishi no Kyo” or “the Western capital”

The fern starch incorporates azuki beans and matcha and then combined with sugar before being kneaded and steamed to create uirou, a traditional Yamaguchi sweet. With the unique softness of the starch and the right amount of sweetness, uirou has a simple yet superior flavor that can only be found in Yamaguchi Prefecture which is also known as the Western capital.
