Nagatoya “Fly Me to The Moon Yokan Fantasia”

It's a magical yokan whose design changes every time you cut it. The world of yokan depicts the crescent moon turning into a full moon, birds flapping their wings, and night gradually falling. This is a product that pursues a modern way to enjoy Japanese sweets while preserving traditional manufacturing methods.

Nagatoya is a long-established Japanese sweets shop in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture. ``Fly Me to The Moon Yokan Fantasia'' was created during the long history of a Japanese sweets shop that started in 1848. In 2017, we became the first confectionery shop in the Tohoku region to win the Good Design Award.

Fly Me to The Moon, which is used in the name of the confectionery, is an old jazz number. It's a love song that expresses your feelings for the person you love. The culture of Japanese sweets is to give a name to a sweet and eat it while enjoying the worldview that is embedded in it. It incorporates the sophisticated measures unique to craftsmen.

What will surprise you is not only the beautiful appearance, but also the quality of the taste.

Different ingredients are used for each part, such as champagne and lemon, and the balance of the combinations is carefully considered. The top is topped with cranberries and walnuts, and goes great with tea and wine.

The packaging is beautiful and very ornate. It's packed with elements that make it a great gift.
