Kameya Yoshinaga Uguisu Mochi
A seasonal wagashi where soft mochi coated in uguisu powder announces the arrival of early spring. Produced by Kameya Yoshinaga, a Kyoto confectionery shop founded in Kowa 3 (1803) in the Shijo Sagakei area of Kyoto. It is a long-established shop with over two hundred years of history, known for making sweets using the famous 'Sagakei water' that springs from near the shop. Uguisu Mochi is a spring wagashi consisting of soft mochi such as gyuhi wrapped around bean paste and coated in uguisu powder (kinako made from green soybeans). The name is an analogy to the appearance of the bush warbler (uguisu), the bird that heralds spring. It offers a flavor unique to early spring, harmonizing the gentle sweetness of soft mochi and smooth bean paste with the savory aroma of green soybeans. A dish that allows you to feel the arrival of spring on your palate.
