Ajari-mochi
A famous confection that creates endless lines of people visiting Kyoto—this is Mangetsu's 'Ajari-mochi.' Mangetsu is a long-established shop founded in 1856 (Ansei 3), and Ajari-mochi was created during the Taisho era. It features a semi-fresh dough made by kneading mochi flour with sugar and eggs, gently enveloping sweet Chunpi (grain) bean paste from Tanba Dainagon adzuki beans. The unique shape, with its plump center, is modeled after the ajiro-gasa (woven hat) worn by Ajari monks during their thousand-day ascetic training on Mount Hiei. 'Ajari' is a Sanskrit term meaning high priest. The exquisite balance of the chewy thin skin and the elegant sweetness of the bean paste makes it an unforgettable Kyoto classic.
