Unveiling 'HISLEY' from CANOBLE: An Innovative Confectionery Experience

In an exciting move towards gourmet confections, National Department Co., Ltd., headquartered in Okayama, has announced the launch of their latest culinary collection, HISLEY. Set to debut on October 4, 2025, in their Tokyo factory located in Meguro, this collection features the star product 'Shite - Hibaku', a remarkable dessert wrapped in sweet bean paste and pure cream. Reservations are available now on their online store.

The Essence of 'Shite - Hibaku'

Living up to its name, 'Shite', which refers to the principal actor in Noh theater, 'Shite - Hibaku' encapsulates the wisdom of Zeami, who said, "If hidden, it blooms." This confection merges creamy white with the mystical black of sweet bean paste, creating a visual and flavorful contrast that is both delightful and intriguing.

Upon the first bite of 'Shite - Hibaku', diners are treated to an unexpected sensory experience. The combination of sweet bean paste, known for its intense preparation using Tokachi-grown adzuki beans, and seasonally selected fresh cream from Hokkaido or Kyushu, creates a melt-in-your-mouth sensation that is unparalleled.

The Unique Taste Experience

The confection's design borrows from the Noh play structure of Jo-Ha-Kyū.

• - Jo: The initial blending of textures creates a sense of unity and expansion as the flavors unfold.
• - Ha: A perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of salt enhances the experience.
• - Kyū: Finally, indulge in the rich aroma and creaminess of the fresh cream, providing a moment of luxury.

The meticulous craftsmanship involved in wrapping the cream within the bean paste delivers a delicacy that feels almost ethereal, with a flavor profile that combines both boldness and subtlety. CANOBLE’s mission to create desserts that represent “invisible charms” is evident in this innovative treat.

A New Visual and Taste Journey

At first glance, 'Shite - Hibaku' presents a serene black exterior, with a white core waiting to surprise. Cutting into it reveals a stage set for flavor, elevating the experience to something both mystifying and extraordinary. Each bite is a testament to CANOBLE's vision of redefining sweetness through carefully selected materials and artisanal techniques.

This one-of-a-kind confection invites patrons to dive into a world where taste sensations and visual allure come together, making 'HISLEY' a celebration of flavor and artistry. As they navigate the landscape of sweet indulgence, expect to discover a delightful combination of intrigue and novelty, all encapsulated within these exquisite creations.
