Okashi no Kotobuki-jo Tochi Mochi (Red)
The flagship product of 'Okashi no Kotobuki-jo,' featuring a magnificent exterior that reproduces Yonago Castle. This traditional rare sweet consists of Japanese horse chestnut (tochi) seeds harvested from deep mountains, pounded with contract-grown glutinous rice and wrapped in carefully selected adzuki bean paste. It won the highest-ranking Honorary President's Award at the 22nd National Confectionery Expo. The characteristic bitterness and richness of the horse chestnut seeds overlap with the gentle sweetness of the adzuki bean paste, creating a profound flavor unlike any other mochi sweet. The gorgeous red packaging is often chosen as a gift for celebratory occasions. One of the joys of visiting Kotobuki-jo, located right off the Yonago Expressway interchange, is being able to take your time choosing while sampling the products.

Okashi no Kotobuki-jo Tochi Mochi (Red)
Okashi no Kotobuki-jo's Tochi Mochi comes in two varieties, 'White' and 'Red'; this is the 'Red' type, where red bean paste is wrapped in mochi. While the 'White' version wraps the paste inside the mochi, in the 'Red' version, the paste is on the outside, so the sweetness of the adzuki beans spreads first, followed by the fragrant aroma of the Japanese horse chestnut (tochi). Many people buy both as a comparison set.
