There were five pieces of Yubeshi in a package.
Yubeshi is produced in both western and northern Japan.
The inside looks like a caramel, but Yubeshi is much softer than it.
Coffee would also go with this, but usually we have it with green tea. I went to Sendai city in Miyagi prefecture a few years ago, which is the biggest city in northern Japan. The city is renowned for the fact it was ruled by a military commander "Masamune Date" about in the 17th century. After that Sendai city started to flourish and now it is the place people visit for the purpose of shopping and seeing Date's residence called "Aoba Castle".
Historical details aside, Sendai city is also known as a place that produces lots of good confections. And this one called "Yubeshi" is one of them. It tastes like sweet soy sauce and is elastic like a gummy candy. And it often includes pieces of walnuts.
You don't have to go all the way to Sendai to get this. This kind of confections are sold everywhere in Japan and I bought this at a nearby supermarket.
