Ishojuji Sakura Mochi
Be enveloped in the scent of cherry blossoms in the very birthplace of The Tale of Genji. This is the Sakura Mochi of Ishojuji Temple. Ishojuji is an ancient temple in Otsu, where it is said that Murasaki Shikibu formulated the ideas for The Tale of Genji while gazing at the moon reflected in Lake Biwa. This highly aromatic sakura mochi is inspired by that storied land. Wrapped gently in salt-pickled cherry leaves, a fragrant scent of sakura rises the moment you open it. The balance between the saltiness of the leaf and the sweetness of the bean paste is delightful, as if bringing the essence of spring directly to your palate. This Japanese sweet is perfect as a memento of a visit to the birthplace of the tale. Please take your time to savor this seasonal treat while remembering the tranquil atmosphere of Ishojuji Temple.
