Gion Tokuya Hon-Warabi Mochi
So soft that it melts smoothly when scooped with a spoon. This is the 'Hon-Warabi Mochi' from Gion Tokuya, a popular confectionery shop in Gion. It is meticulously prepared by kneading rare authentic warabi powder, which is only harvested in small quantities each year, with Wasanbon sugar. While many commercially available warabi mochi use different types of starch, the brownish tint unique to authentic warabi powder is proof of its authenticity. Its exquisite, melting texture is best enjoyed fresh on the spot. Once you experience the melt-in-your-mouth sensation unique to real warabi powder, you will never forget it. Enjoy that momentary gooey perfection coated in kinako (roasted soybean flour) and black honey syrup. An unforgettable, blissful treat to encounter in Kyoto.
