Old-house cafe, Shuri
×Chiirunko (steamed egg confection)
Why you must eat itA Ryukyu steamed sweet of egg, sugar and flour with a little peanut, risen soft and yellow. Written "chicken-egg cake," it is a dignified sweet once offered at royal celebrations and memorials. Like castella yet lighter, it dissolves moist in the mouth. At old-house cafes in the stone-paved town it is served with sanpin or bukubuku tea. On a tired afternoon, a quiet sweetness fit to close the royal capital.
Chiirunko is a steamed Ryukyu confection, its charm a moist, light bite. Served at Shuri's old confectioners and old-house cafes, it is sliced and taken with tea. It keeps poorly, so eat it there. Prices and hours are a guide, so check on site.
