noun
type of Japanese sweet with egg yolk
A traditional fresh Japanese confection made from white bean paste, egg yolk, sugar, and rice granules (like みじん粉). The name evokes the color of egg yolk (黄身) and the drizzled appearance reminiscent of a passing shower (時雨).

黄身しぐれは卵黄の風味が豊かで
Kimishigure has a rich egg yolk flavor and an elegant sweetness.
The name combines 黄身 (egg yolk) and しぐれ (a passing shower), likely referring to the yellow color and the drizzled texture of the sweet.
