Hado Budou Mochi (Budo Mochi)
Created by Hado of Higashikagawa City, founded in 1927 (Showa 2), 'Budou Mochi' is a fresh confection with a shelf life of only two days, meant to be enjoyed freshly made. Its origins date back to the Warring States period. It originated as 'Budo Mochi' (Warrior Mochi), offered to Shiratori Shrine, which enshrines Yamato Takeru, to celebrate the departure of samurai to battle. Later, because the sweet mochi made with Sanuki bean sugar resembled grapes, it came to be known as 'Budary Mochi' (Grape Mochi). It is a gentle, sweet mochi confection nurtured by the sugar known as one of the 'Sanpaku of Sanuki.' The red wrapper was designed by the painter Kunibo Wada. It is a specialty of Higashikagawa, to be enjoyed while tasting its historical narrative.
