Fukutaro Honpo Fukutaro

A black mask and the scent of mugwort—this is Fukutaro, an auspicious mochi that continues to be loved on the approach to Mishima Taisha Shrine. The name originates from a character named Fukutaro who appears in the "Otauchi Shinji" (Rice Planting Ritual) at Mishima Taisha. Known as "Fukutaro, the sower of fortune," it has been cherished as an auspicious item for praying for good health and bountiful harvests. Mugwort has been believed since ancient times to ward off evil and is a nutritious wild herb. This mugwort-infused kusamochi (grass mochi) is gently wrapped in smooth red bean paste made from carefully selected adzuki beans. This simple, additive-free kusamochi features a harmony of mugwort aroma and the elegant sweetness of the bean paste. At the Fukutaro Chaya located within the shrine grounds, you can enjoy freshly made pieces with tea. How about this auspicious mochi to accompany your break after visiting the shrine?
