Sakujitsu Mochi - Chestnut Mochi
This chestnut mochi is the October edition of Akafuku's "Sakujitsu Mochi." On the "Choyo no Sekku" (Chrysanthemum Festival) on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, people ate chestnut rice and chestnut sweets to pray for longevity. This chestnut mochi was created in honor of that custom, featuring an abundance of autumn flavors. It consists of flavorful chestnut paste wrapped in dough that retains a pleasant texture of glutinous rice, topped with a small piece of candied chestnut. Among the many varieties of Sakujitsu Mochi, this is a highly popular item, standing alongside the August "Hassaku Awamochi." On its release date of October 1st, lines form from the early morning, and the excitement of that moment becomes a cherished autumn memory of Ise. Please enjoy the taste of the harvest season first thing in the morning.
