Benkei Rikimochi

A mochi-based confectionery that has been made without change since its founding in 1915 in the World Heritage village of Hiraizumi. It was named after the strength of Musashibo Benkei, the heroic warrior who protected Minamoto no Yoshitsune. In reality, it is a walnut yubeshi featuring a generous amount of fragrant walnuts. Without relying on additives, artisans carefully preserve the same production method and flavor used since the company's founding, using only carefully selected ingredients such as glutinous rice flour and walnuts. This substantial treat features a perfect harmony of chewy dough, the rich aroma of walnuts, and an elegant sweetness. It is a masterpiece worthy of a World Heritage village, to be enjoyed alongside the eternal historical romance of Hiraizumi.
