Shiogama

Shiogama is a Japanese cake. The ingredients of it are flour made from cooked glutinous rice, sugar, salt, powder of marine alga and crushed leaf of the perilla. These ingredients are mixed and pushed into the mold. Shiogama is originally made in Shogama City of Miyagi Prefecture located in north east Japan.

If “wasanbon” which means refined Japanese sugar made in Tokushima Prefecture is put instead of sugar, Shiogama is not so sweat and mellow.
