🎌 Okinawa Nanpudou "Yukishio Kinshokai"

The "Snow Salt Kinjo Cake" from Naha's Minpudo in Okinawa has a crispy texture upon first bite, which then transforms into a dense mouthfeel. The gentle deliciousness of the snow salt makes it irresistible. Since its launch in 2005, it has been a classic souvenir from Okinawa for over 15 years. The main ingredients of Kinjo Cake are flour and sugar, which are almost identical to those of cookies. The difference lies in the type of fat used; instead of butter, lard is used. The snow salt Kinjo Cake employs carefully selected lard to present a rich aroma and a complex texture. By adding "snow salt," it creates a perfect balance of sweetness. Snow salt is made from seawater rich in minerals derived from the Ryukyu limestone strata of Miyako Island. Its near-perfect quality has earned it gold medals for three consecutive years at the international food evaluation event known as "MONDE SELECTION," which is often referred to as the "Food Olympics." Additionally, a flavor with a milky aroma and rich butter has also received positive reviews from customers. It is available at airports within Okinawa and souvenir shops, as well as at the direct sales store "Washita Shop," which sells Okinawa specialty products.
