Muranaka Kansendo Habutae Mochi
When it comes to Fukui souvenirs, this is the first thing that comes to mind. This is 'Habutae Mochi,' the signature confection of Muranaka Kansendo, founded in 1910. The name is derived from 'Habutae,' once the highest quality silk fabric that Fukui was proud of. This mochi expresses that smooth texture through confectionery. It is made with only three ingredients: rice, sugar, and starch syrup. The shop insists on using 100% Fukui-grown rice, specifically sourced from the clean waters of Ono, Katsuyama, and Ikeda. A unique specialty of this shop is layering two thin sheets of mochi together. The moment it enters your mouth, it dissolves with a silk-like smoothness. An unshakeable classic of Fukui, perfect for pairing with tea or as a gift.
