Uirou

Uirou

The Uiro family has been making medicine and sweets for over 650 years, so they are both named "uiro" after the family. Uiro is a steamed rice flour confectionery that was invented during the Muromachi period (1336-1573) for entertaining foreign envoys and is characterized by its springy texture and subtle sweetness. It is loved by people of all ages and was selected as one of Kanagawa's top 100 specialties. Due to its wide range of medicinal effects, many anecdotes have been spread about the medicinal uiro, including the "Kabuki Uirouri.” The traditional eight-building structure is worth seeing.
