− Lemon ball −

Sawadaya's "Lemon ball" has become a summer tradition in Kofu. The number of fans who can't wait for the start of sales from July 2023, 7 is increasing rapidly!The taste of lemon is packed tightly, and it will appear with a big power up from last year.

The 2023 lemon ball uses two types of luxury: Setouchi lemons with high sugar content ripened on the tree, and Meyer lemons born by crossing oranges and lemons!
The setouchi lemons were pickled in honey with their skins, and the seeds were carefully removed by hand.

A little Meyer lemon and Setouchi lemon are used for the Tsuyatsu and Pururun yokan that wraps the bean paste.The freshness and bitterness of Meyer lemon, the gentle sweetness that you feel in the sourness, and the soft orange scent. A gem that makes you realize that the exquisite triangle of sweetness, sourness, and bitterness is very important for lemons.

Like last year, the bean paste is also salted koji from Gomi Shoyu, a long-established miso shop in Kofu.As a result of repeated trial and error from scratch, whether to add shio koji to the marriage of white bean paste and two types of lemon, I came to the conclusion that "the depth is completely different if there is not it!" And.
In addition, the additive-free concentrated juice of Mediterranean lemons “Biarritz Lemon” is used as a secret ingredient.It is said that the pleasant bitterness stands out due to the balance of the sweetness of the bean paste.

The 2023 lemon ball is made by changing the manufacturing method and heating the yokan, while devising a taste that makes the lemon peel and pulp stand out.Refreshing sourness and bitterness are gently wrapped in a faint sweetness.

There is no such thing as perfection every year, and instead of being content with the status quo, we constantly repeat trial and error and achieve wonderful upgrades.

Lemon balls that sell out quickly every year.You can reserve it, so make a reservation by phone in advance.
