Shinko
Smooth smooth bean paste is gently coated around bite-sized pieces of mochi. As you take a bite, the chewy texture of the dough and the elegant sweetness of the smooth bean paste melt together beautifully—this is Noshiro's specialty, Shinko. Unlike ordinary mochi, it is characterized by the use of uruchi-mai (the type of rice used for eating). Because it is made with special rice flour milled specifically for each batch, its shelf life is only one day; freshness is everything. It is crafted by Sekito, a confectionery established in 1937. Born from continuous research with the goal to 'create something that becomes the highlight of the shop in spring,' it is the taste of spring in Noshiro. Simple and somewhat nostalgic, it is a gentle, famous confection from Noshiro that pairs perfectly with tea. If you encounter it, please be sure to enjoy it on that very same day.
