Taneya Kashiwa Mochi (Smooth Red Bean Paste)

A traditional Japanese confection for the Boys' Festival (Tango no Sekku) that allows you to feel the season through the fragrance of oak leaves. This Kashiwa Mochi is delivered by 'Taneya,' a long-established shop in Omi Hachiman, specifically for the Boys' Festival. It features chewy mochi made from Omi rice, wrapped around smooth red bean paste (koshian) and finished by being enveloped in an oak leaf (kashiwa). Founded in 1872 (Meiji 5), Taneya has long cherished the tradition of coloring seasonal events with Japanese sweets. Because old oak leaves do not fall until new buds have grown, they are considered a symbol of good fortune representing 'uninterrupted family lineage,' making them essential for the Boys' Festival. Please enjoy the harmony between the fragrance of the leaf and the chewy mochi along with your Children's Day celebrations. It is a heartwarming sweet that carries wishes for children's growth.
