, also known as , is a traditional Japanese steamed cake made of rice flour and sugar. It is chewy, similar to ''mochi'', and subtly sweet. Flavors include azuki bean paste, green tea (matcha), ''yuzu'', strawberry and chestnut. Nagoya is particularly famous for its ''uirō'', and there are other regional versions, notably in Yamaguchi and Odawara. It can be purchased in traditional Japanese confectionery shops throughout Japan.〔 ''Uirō'' was originally the name of a medicine in the Muromachi period (1336–1573). References to ''uirō'' as a confection first appear in the ''Wa-Kan Sansai Zue'', Ryōan Terajima's massive Edo-period dictionary published in 1712. ==See also== *Japanese cuisine * List of steamed foods *Wagashi 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uirō」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
