Taneya Kusamochi
There are Japanese sweets that announce the arrival of spring through their aroma. This is the Kusamochi (mugwort mochi) from the long-established Taneya of Omihachiman. The dough, kneaded with plenty of mugwort, is a deep green, and as you take a bite, the powerful fragrance of mugwort gently spreads through your mouth. Inside is a smooth red bean paste with subtle sweetness. The slight bitterness of the mugwort resonates with the gentle sweetness of the bean paste, and by lightly searing the surface, an even greater depth of flavor is created. This is a seasonal delight available only from mid-February to early April. With every bite, the scent of spring in the mountains and fields is revived. Please enjoy this seasonal wagashi, unique to a shop founded in 1872, alongside some warm tea.
