白餡には風味豊かな七味を混ぜ込み、上品な甘さに仕上げています。上に載せた一味の辛さがアクセントになっています。
March's drawing is "Otaimatsu-siki" (torch lightning ritual) at Saga, which is one of three major lighting festival in Kyoto. March's seasonal confection of Kyoto has a little pungently taste of ichimi (cayenne pepper powder), inspired by the raging fire spark. This is made of white sweetened bean paste mixed with shichimi(a mixture of red cayenne pepper and other aromatic spices) to make it have sophisticated sweetness. The spicy flavor of ichimi on the top adds a good accent to this confection.
