Shujin Mochi (Departure Mochi)
This famous confection was created by Kanazawa Sohonpo in Joetsu City, inspired by the legend of Uesugi Kenshin's departure to battle. It is named after the historical account where Lord Kenshin provided mochi to his soldiers to energize and inspire them before the decisive Battle of Kawanakajima. It consists of mugwort mochi made from 100% Joetsu-grown glutinous rice, generously coated in fragrant roasted soybean flour (kinako), and enjoyed with separately provided black honey (kuromitsu). Released in 1969, it is a representative sweet of Joetsu, certified as part of the 'Made in Joetsu' regional brand. The trio of mugwort aroma, kinako, and black honey creates an unforgettable flavor. Please enjoy this long-selling classic that has been loved for many years.
