Chimoto Yumochi
The signature confection of Chimoto in Hakone Yumoto: Yumochi. It boasts a soft, melting texture, much like skin after a soak in a hot spring. Inside soft mochi made from kneaded domestic glutinous rice flour (shiratamako) is chopped yokan, resembling the rocks of the Hayakawa River, accompanied by a subtle hint of yuzu fragrance. Continuing to protect the handmade methods passed down from previous generations, this is a representative item of Hakone, even selected as a Kanagawa Prefecture designated confection. Each Yumochi is wrapped in bamboo skin, offering an elegant softness that melts away and a light, rising aroma of yuzu. It is a masterpiece that seems to capture the blessings of Hakone's nature exactly as they are. It makes you want to savor it slowly with tea.
