Kuya Kansuke Mochi

A famous confection loved for over 130 years in Ise-Fuki, featuring a texture where individual rice grains remain. It is a "Kuya Mochi" made by pounding steamed glutinous rice without pounding it completely smooth, available in three colors: red, white, and mugwort (yomogi). "Kuya (Kuuya)" refers to mochi that retains some of the texture of the rice grains. The flavor was created by the second generation, Kansuke Suzuki, who trained at a long-established shop in Tokyo; the name "Kansuke" is derived from him. Although its 130-year history once came to an end, in response to voices lamenting the loss of the taste, the brand and product name have made a new start in the land of Fuki. It features the chewy texture of Hiyokumochi and the gentle sweetness of smooth red bean paste. It is a traditional taste that has been preserved through generations.
