Sakujitsu Mochi - Yuki Mochi (Snow Mochi)
Every month on the 1st, there is a tradition called "Sakujitsu-mairi," where people visit the Ise Grand Shrine in the early morning. Since 1978, Akafuku has been creating monthly rotating "Sakujitsu Mochi" to welcome these pilgrims. The December edition is "Yuki Mochi." Inspired by the seasonal marker "Taiseki" (Major Snow) on the calendar, it features smooth red bean paste wrapped in white mochi dough made with corn flour and lightly dusted with mochiko powder to represent a landscape thinly covered in snow. It possesses a pure and dignified appearance, perfect for the end of the year. As a limited edition available only on that specific day with an expiration date of the same day, the joy of encountering it is all the more special. If you are traveling through Ise in winter, please try to visit first thing in the morning.
