Chogoro Mochi
A mochi confection said to have been praised as 'delicious' by the great unifier Toyomi Hideyoshi—this is 'Chogoro Mochi,' a confectionery sold in front of Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. During the Tensho era, Chogoro of Kawachiya, who entertained pilgrims at Kitano Tenmangu, gained fame for creating elegant and sophisticated mochi sweets. It is told that during the Grand Tea Ceremony held by Hideyoshi at Kitano in 1587, this mochi was used as a tea sweet; Hideyoshi liked it so much that he named it 'Chogoro Mochi.' It features a simple taste of smooth, fine red bean paste wrapped in thin, soft mochi. Passed down for over 400 years, it can still be enjoyed at the teahouse within the Kitano Tenmangu shrine grounds. It is a famous Kyoto confection that carries the weight of history.
