Yubeshi

Yubeshi (Japanese: ゆべし) is a type of wagashi (Japanese confection). It has several flavour and shape variations. Two main types include a rectangular walnut and soy sauce flavoured mochi-like confectionery and a second one is a round stuffed yuzu rind variation, sometimes called Maru-yubeshi (round yubeshi) and originally developed as a ration and cherished for their long shelf life. Many regions have their own distinct recipes, most yubeshi has a base of sticky rice flour or regular rice flour, sugar and walnuts and flavoured with soy sauce or miso. Some regions may add spices such as ginger, sansho pepper, white pepper, chilli pepper, and recipe variations may include sesame oil or sesame seeds. The process of production is very labor-intensive. A circle is cut out of the top of the yuzu and set aside.
