Tsukidori Mochi - Kashiwa Mochi
Akafuku's "Tsukidori Mochi" welcomes people visiting Ise Jingu Shrine on the morning of the 1st of every month. The May edition is the "Kashiwa Mochi," inspired by the Tango no Sekku (Boy's Day) festival. Because oak leaves do not fall until new buds have grown, the oak tree has been considered an auspicious tree representing the continuity of a family lineage. The mochi filled with smooth red bean paste is gently wrapped in these leaves. It is a refreshing early-summer item that embodies wishes for the healthy growth of children and the prosperity of descendants. Since its release in 1978, it carries on the Akafuku culture of expressing the changing seasons through mochi. The special feeling of being available only on May 1st further enhances the flavor. Please savor early summer in Ise along with the fragrance of the oak leaves.
