"Chotei Yokan" is named after the apprentice craftsman "Chotei Don" who used to eat it as a snack. Unlike steamed yokan, which has a long shelf life, Chotei Yokan does not keep well, so it was not suitable for summer when there was no refrigerator. Therefore, many shops still produce it as a winter-limited Japanese confectionery. In addition, it is low in sugar, so even those who are not good at sweets can enjoy it.
