Iroku Meibutsu Shoyu Mochi
This is a simple mochi confection that Iroku Honpo has carefully preserved, based on a traditional local sweet passed down in Matsuyama since ancient times. While it lacks flashiness, it continues to be deeply loved by the locals. Made primarily from rice flour, the dough is kneaded with dark soy sauce and ginger, shaped into rounds, and steamed to a fluffy texture. With one bite, the subtle aroma of savory soy sauce and the refreshing flavor of ginger spread through the chewy dough. The balance of sweetness and a sharp saltiness makes it so easy to eat that you could finish many in one sitting. Although it doesn't have the same level of fame as the Tart or Botchan Dango, it is a traditional flavor with deep-rooted popularity among Matsuyama locals. It is an item we highly recommend tasting as a sophisticated Matsuyama souvenir for connoisseurs.
