Kiso Narai-juku Kimura Sakura Mochi
Located in the post town of Narai-juku on the Nakasendo highway, "Kiso Narai-juku Kimura" is a well-known shop famous for its handmade Gohei-mochi and Oyaki. This particular Sakura Mochi is their specialty made during the spring season. It is a quintessential spring treat where the subtle saltiness of the cherry blossom leaf, a gentle sweetness, and the texture of the glutinous rice harmonize beautifully. Narai-juku was a prosperous post town on the Kiso Road, once referred to as "Narai Sennon" (Narai of a Thousand Houses) during the Edo period. The historic streetscape remains to this day, attracting many travelers. At Kimura, you can enjoy handmade Japanese sweets that are easy to savor while walking along the highway. Enjoy a single bite infused with the fragrance of cherry blossoms alongside the nostalgic atmosphere of the post town. As you stroll leisurely through the old streets, please take a moment to feel the arrival of spring in the Kiso Road.
