Zunda Mochi

Freshly pounded mochi topped with eye-catching bright green paste. The subtle sweetness and aroma of mashed edamame—the moment it touches your mouth, the flavors of summer burst forth in this Tohoku specialty, Zunda Mochi. The paste made by mashing edamame has been beloved in Southern Tohoku since ancient times. There are various theories regarding the origin of the word 'zunda'; some suggest it comes from 'zunda,' an onomatopoeia for the sound of mashing beans, while others believe it derives from 'jinda,' an archaic word for miso. It is believed that sweet zunda became widely consumed after the late Edo period when sugar became more available. Vibrant green and a gentle sweetness. Please enjoy it chilled with mochi during the summer.
