Maeda's Hinaokoshi

We have been preserving the traditional craft of making local Japanese sweets in Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture, for many years. "Hinaokoshi," essential for the Hinamatsuri season, is a taste passed down through generations in this area.
Maeda's Hinaokoshi is roasted in a rotary direct-fire roaster. Its crispy texture and fragrant, rich flavor will make your Hinamatsuri celebrations even more vibrant.
Uwajima's Traditional "Nigirimame" Technique
In Uwajima City, Ehime, there is a tradition of making Hina-arare known as "Nigirimame" (hand-pressed beans). This unique regional method involves carefully mixing arare ingredients with starch syrup and hand-shaping them.
By hand-shaping each piece, the gentle sweetness of the starch syrup spreads throughout the arare, creating a unique crispy texture and a balanced sweetness that unfolds in your mouth.
By upholding this traditional technique, we bring these time-honored flavors to the present day.
Commitment to Carefully Selected Ingredients
Uses Japanese non-glutinous and glutinous rice
The primary ingredients—non-glutinous and glutinous rice—are carefully selected high-quality Japanese varieties. We cherish the authentic flavor of the rice and its crispy texture.
A blend of brown sugar and black sesame
Fragrant black sesame and rich brown sugar are blended in an exquisite balance. We've added depth to the traditional flavor.
It is finished with a gentle, mellow sweetness.
For the Hinamatsuri Season
Hinamatsuri is an important event where we pray for the healthy growth of girls. In the Nanyo region of Ehime Prefecture, this "Hinaokoshi" has long been a beloved and essential treat for the festival.
Please enjoy the deep color and traditional taste created by the harmony of brown sugar and black sesame with your whole family.
