Uirō (外郎) is a traditional
Japanese steamed cake made of
rice flour and
sugar. It is chewy, similar to
mochi, and subtly sweet. Flavours, among others, include
azuki bean paste, green
tea (
macha),
yuzu,
strawberry, and
chestnut. The city of
Nagoya is particularly famous for its uiro, but it can also be purchased in traditional Japanese
confectionery shops throughout Japan.
