One such treat is this elegantly flavored dry confectionery (higashi). With a light texture that gently melts in your mouth and a refined, subtle sweetness, it is perfectly suited for a tea ceremony. Tasting it amidst the serene atmosphere of the beautiful Pure Land Garden feels as though it clears your very soul. Mōtsū-ji Temple is a place where the long history of the ancient capital, Hiraizumi, and the prayers of the people still live on today. Enjoying this confection along with your memories of the visit gently deepens the lingering impressions of your journey. It is a signature sweet of Hiraizumi that softly accompanies moments of tranquility.
