Nakamuraken Tsubaki-mochi
Tsubaki-mochi is a Japanese confection made by Nakamuraken, a long-established shop in Katsura, Kyoto, that heralds the arrival of spring. This lovely and elegant treat features glossy Domyo-ji mochi wrapped around sweet bean paste and sandwiched between two camellia (tsubaki) leaves. With a history so ancient that it even appears in 'The Tale of Genji,' Tsubaki-mochi is considered one of Japan's oldest types of Wagashi, depicted as a sweet served to nobles after Kemari (a traditional ball game). Since its founding in 1883, Nakamuraken has faithfully preserved traditional methods, such as slow-cooking bean paste over a wood fire. The glossy Domyo-ji mochi and refined bean paste quietly convey the essence of spring that has endured since the Heian period into the present day.
