Ise Sando Miyashita Mochi

A mochi sweet that embodies the essence of Ise, inspired by the origin of the word 'omiyage' (souvenir). The soft mochi and simple sweetness will transport you back to your memories of the Ise road. There are various theories regarding the etymology of 'omiyage,' but a prominent one is 'miyage' (referring to a wooden board for attaching amulets received at shrines). It is said that the culture of souvenirs began when representatives of Ise pilgrimages would purchase these items for their companions staying behind. This mochi sweet carries that history of the Ise pilgrimage in its very name. An affordable treat available at places like Toba No. 1 Avenue. A delightful feature is that the soft texture makes it easy to eat for everyone from the elderly to children. It makes you want to take home not just the snack, but the story behind it as a conclusion to your pilgrimage.
