先ほどランチをご一緒した友人より、おすそ分けとして榮太郎総本舗の板飴『羽一衣（はねひとえ）』をいただきました 
榮太郎飴という三角の飴は何度かいただいたこともありますが『羽一衣』は初体験 
板状になった飴なのですが、日本らしい繊細で上品な味とその食感に感動しました 
丁寧に作られているお菓子、という感じで、こちらも丁寧にいただきました 
日本人の感性の豊かさを感じるお味です。
幸せ
榮太郎総本舗さんは1857年、江戸時代に創業された由緒ある老舗のお菓子屋さん。
伝統を技を受け継ぎつつ、新しい商品の開発も怠らないからこそ、今でも愛されているんでしょうね。
日本にはダメな部分もあるけど、オリジナルで誇れるものもたくさんあるなぁとしみじみ感じて嬉しくなりました 
私の住む大阪にはお店はないそうですので、簡単には手にできないのが残念です 
東京に行く機会があれば、ぜひお土産に買ってこようと思います
日本の方だけではなく、外国の方にも喜ばれそうですね
My friend whom I had lunch with gave me a candy made by Eitaro Confectionery in Tokyo. It is called "Hane Hitoe (meaning 'a plumage ')"
I have tasted other candies from this confectionery before, however, it was the first experience for me to try Hane Hitoe
The candy was in the form of a plate and I was so touched by the delicate, sophisticated flavor and the texture of it
It seems like the candy was made in a respectful manner so I tasted it with a sense of respect as well
If you taste the candy, you will feel the richness of Japanese sensibility.
It made me so happy
Eitaro Confectionery is a time-honored, traditional confectionery, which was founded in 1857 during Edo Period.
I suppose that they are still loved by people since they have been developing new products as well with carrying on the tradition and techniques at the same time.
There may be things we should be ashamed of in Japan, however, there definitely are many things we can be proud of as well.
And I feel happy about it
There seem to be no shop of Eitaro Confectionary in Osaka area, so it is a bit hard for me to get their candies here
I will try to get some as souvenir if I have a chance to get to Tokyo
I am certain that these candies would be loved not only by Japanese but also by foreign people
