Akashiya Koremochi
A traditional Satsuma confection, 'Koremochi,' crafted by Akashiya. Founded in the first year of Ansei (1854), it is another signature sweet from this long-established shop, also known as the originator of Karukan. Koremochi is made by steaming adzuki beans, mochi flour, and rice flour. There are various theories regarding the origin of the name 'Kore' (Korea); one legend says it began as an offering made by people with ties to the Korean Peninsula in memory of their homeland. In Kagoshima, there is a custom of referring to foreign cultures as 'Kore,' and this sweet carries that history to the present day. With its chewy texture and elegant, gentle sweetness, please savor it while feeling the long history of Satsuma.
