What better sweet for 'Tabi-no-hi' than Mikuraya's (御倉屋 ) 'tabiyakko' (旅奴). The name means 'to accompany on a trip', referring to the long line of attendants that would accompany daimyō to and from Edo.

'Tabiyakko' (旅奴) are halfway between a firm cake and a crumbly cookie, flavoured with a light muscovado sugar (famously produced in Hateruma 波照間島, Okinawa)🙌😋

Some of my favourite sweets😉

another year is gone
a traveler's shade on my head,
straw sandals at my feet
年暮ぬ笠きて草鞋はきながら, 1685

now then, let's go out
to enjoy the snow ... until
I slip and fall!
いざさらば雪見にころぶ所迄, 1688
-Matsuo Bashō.

'Tabi-no-hi' was established in 1988 by the Japan Travel Pen Club.
