Kumaya Gobo-mochi (Burdock Mochi)
This is 'Gobo-mochi,' a signature confection from Kumaya, a specialty burdock mochi shop that has continued for over 260 years in Hirado since 1762. It is a historic tea sweet nurtured in Hirado, the land where sugar was introduced. Originally, it was a tea sweet for the 'Chinshin-ryu' tea ceremony associated with the Lord of the Hirado Clan, Matsuura Shinnobu, and townspeople have long enjoyed it as 'distributed sweets' for celebrations and memorial services. It features a simple flavor made by kneading steamed mochi and coating it in brown sugar and kinako (roasted soybean flour). The name is said to derive from the fact that in the past, it was made with only brown sugar and served in long pieces at tea ceremonies, making both its color and shape resemble burdock root. With a chewy texture and the gentle sweetness of brown sugar, please experience the passage of time flowing through the castle town of Hirado in a single bite.
