"Meika Hiyoko" is a cute chick-shaped bun that originated in Iizuka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The moist castella dough is filled with smooth, elegantly sweet yellow bean paste.
This sweet is filled with plenty of rich yellow bean paste, which is carefully kneaded with sugar and egg yolks, based on "Shiroyuki An" made with carefully selected dwarf beans. The bean paste is carefully bleached until it is almost pure white, and is characterized by its smooth, elegant sweetness with all impurities removed. The outer skin is made with a unique blend of wheat flour called "Hiyoko-only flour," and by combining it with molasses made from fresh eggs and white sugar, it has a fragrant, rich, and soft texture. Skilled craftsmen carefully shape each one and bake it slowly in the oven, allowing the skin and bean paste to blend together, resulting in a moist texture and gentle sweetness. This is a masterpiece made with great attention to ingredients and manufacturing methods, and its cute appearance has made it popular with a wide range of generations, from children to adults.
