Genpei Mochi
The story of the battle between the Genji and Heike clans resides within these red and white mochi. 'Genpei Mochi' is a traditional confection of Takamatsu, devised in the mid-Meiji era by Yoshioka Genpei Mochi Honpo, founded in 1862. Inspired by the Genpei War that unfolded in Yashima, Sanuki, the white flag of the Genji and the red flag of the Heike are expressed through two small red and white mochi. Its charm lies in its soft texture and elegant sweetness. It is also derived from a legend that the Genji, having won the Battle of Yashima, pounded red and white mochi to celebrate their victory. It is a traditional taste of Takamatsu passed down at the foot of Yashima, perfect for enjoying while reflecting on historical romance. With its paired red and white colors, it is also ideal as a gift for celebratory occasions.
