Amanoji Honpo: Pin to Mochi

A specialty of Miyazu, overlooking the Amanohashidate—one of the three most scenic views in Japan—is the "Pin to Mochi," which features a delightful chewy texture. It is produced by Amanoji Honpo, founded in 1966. The name "Pin to Mochi" is derived from a line in the Miyazu folk song "Miyazu-bushi," which says, "Stretched out straight (pin to) in Miyazu, Tango." The word "Pin" signifies the highest possible quality. The dough made from mochi flour is baked to a fragrant finish and generously filled with coarse red bean paste made from Tokachi, Hokkaido adzuki beans. Its charm lies in its mysterious texture, which is neither quite a rice cake nor quite a manju. The fragrant dough pairs beautifully with the elegant sweetness of the bean paste, making it a local confection you must taste as a memory of your trip to Amanohashidate.
