I’m not sure why this sweets is made shaped like Ayu. Ayu is a popular fish living in river. Anyway, this Ayu fish shaped sweets has some sweet bean paste and rice cake called “Gyuhi” inside.
“Gyuhi” has really soft texture. I heard that in west part of Japan they don’t have “gyuhi” inside. The dough outside is made from castella dough.
