Do you know the wedding candy "Oiri" that has been passed down in Kagawa?♡
"Oiri" is a cute rice cake with a round and colorful appearance, traditionally from Kagawa Prefecture. This "Oiri" is a traditional sweet that brides take with them when they get married in Shikoku, Kagawa.
Roasting x Marrying = Oiri ♡
The name "Oiri" plays on the process of "roasting" the glutinous rice and "marrying," making it a perfect candy for weddings! ♩
"Oiri" is often accompanied by "Koban-gashi"! "Koban-gashi" is made by flattening "Oiri" into an oval shape, and its taste is the same as "Oiri." Koban-gashi is made in 2-3 colors and is also very beautiful! ♡
Round and pastel-colored, this is a candy for weddings. Let me introduce you to the charm of Oiri! ♡
