Eimochi-ya Shinise An'eimochi
Founded in 1634 in Kuwana-juku, a post town on the Tokaido highway, Eimochi-ya Shinise has been selling 'An'eimochi' for approximately 390 years. This specialty of the Tokaido consists of mochi filled with smooth red bean paste (tsubu-an), flattened into long, thin shapes and toasted on both sides until fragrant. Due to its appearance, it was once also known as 'cow tongue mochi.' It is a soul food of Kuwana that has long been loved by feudal lords visiting during the Sankin-kotai system and by travelers on pilgrimages to Ise. Its charm lies in its simple, unadorned flavor, made solely from domestic glutinous rice and adzuki beans. Experience the subtle aroma of toasted edges and the gentle sweetness of the bean paste—a dish that has supported travelers since the Edo period, right here in Kuwana.

Nagaimochi-ya Shinise An'eimochi
Of the two long-established shops that make An'eimochi, Nagaimochi-ya Shinise, founded in 1634 (Kan'ei 11), has a history of moving to the area in front of Kuwana Station following the opening of the Kansai Line in 1894. They take pride in making additive-free white mochi, which is characterized by its relatively soft texture. Since it can also be purchased at places like Nabana no Sato, it is easy to pick up during a sightseeing trip to Kuwana.
