Yamadaichi Abekawa Mochi
This Abekawa Mochi is a famous specialty of the Tokaido highway that travelers in the Edo period eagerly sought out. Abekawa Mochi has been a well-known confection since the era of Fuchu-shuku (present-day Shizuoka), and legend has it that Tokugawa Ieyasu himself gave it its name. It also appears in Jippensha Ikku's "Tokaidochu Hizakurige" and has been enjoyed as one of the most famous specialties along the highway. Although production almost ceased due to the chaos of the war years, the founder of Yamadaichi worked tirelessly to revive it, achieving sales at Shizuok Station in 1950. This elegant treat consists of soft, chewy mochi wrapped in flavorful smooth red bean paste and kinako (roasted soybean powder). Why not enjoy a piece with some tea while reminiscing about the nostalgic atmosphere of the Tokaido highway?

Yamadaichi Abekawa Mochi
Yamadaichi revived this famous Tokaido confection, which is said to have been named by Tokugawa Ieyasu, after the war. They preserve a 400-year tradition of coating freshly pounded mochi with kinako (roasted soybean flour) and red bean paste, and are sold at Parche, directly connected to Shizuoka Station.
