Tsukiire Mochi
This is a representative confection of Miyazaki, preserved by the long-established 'Kinjo-do,' founded in 1880. The name 'Tsukiire' carries an auspicious origin related to mythology. According to legend, when Emperor Jimmu was preparing his voyage at the port of Mimitsu before his eastward migration, villagers celebrated his departure by mixing adzuki beans into mochi and presenting it to him. Following this anecdote, it has been carefully crafted as a lucky sweet that 'includes (tsuki) beans.' It features an elegant flavor with adzuki beans or Miyazaki's specialty Hyuganatsu citrus mixed into soft gyuhi (sweet rice paste). Within its smooth, habutae-like melt-in-the-mouth texture lives a long history and the spirit of people's blessings.
