Kanou Shouan Kashiwamochi (Smooth Red Bean Paste)
As the Tango no Sekku (Boy's Day) approaches, Kanou Shouan's Kashiwamochi appears in shopfronts. This version features smooth koshian (smooth red bean paste) wrapped inside. Because oak leaves do not fall until new buds have grown, the oak leaf is considered a symbol of good fortune representing 'uninterrupted family lineage,' and has long been used in seasonal sweets to pray for the prosperity of descendants. Kanou Shouan is a long-established shop from Omi, headquartered in Otsu. They gently wrap carefully cooked smooth red bean paste in chewy mochi dough. The moment you open the oak leaf, a refreshing aroma wafts up. Along with the elegant sweetness of the smooth red bean paste, it adds color to the seasonal milestone. It is a heartfelt Japanese confection made to wish for the growth of young boys.
