🎌 Zawadaya "Black Jewel"

Launched in 1929, "Kurotama" is a representative confectionery from Yamanashi Prefecture. It features a vibrant light green pea filling made from green peas, coated with a rich layer of black sugar yokan. Retaining the same delicious flavor since its debut, along with its round and cute shape, it has been beloved by locals for many years. Each Kurotama is handcrafted by skilled artisans. The round pea filling is quickly soaked in the yokan, then gently scooped out. The even coating of yokan on the outer layer is the artisan's specialty. Its simple appearance belies a rich texture. With a longer shelf life, it can be stored for 21 days from the date of manufacture, making it a perfect souvenir. In addition to the classic "Kurotama," there are seasonal variations such as "Ichigo Tama" (Strawberry Tama) available in spring, "Matcha Tama" (Matcha Tama) in early summer, "Kuri Tama" (Chestnut Tama) in autumn, and "Choco Tama" (Chocolate Tama) in winter. All products can also be purchased online, and the different seasonal flavors are highly recommended.
