Zunda Mochi
Freshly pounded mochi is generously coated with a vibrant, light green paste. The chunky texture of the mashed edamame, its refreshing summer aroma, and a gentle sweetness spread throughout your mouth. Zunda is a flavor passed down since ancient times in Miyagi, made by mashing boiled edamame beans and seasoning them with sugar and other ingredients. It is said that sweet zunda can be traced back to the end of the Edo period when sugar became more widely available. There are several legends regarding its name, including the theory that it originated from 'Zunda' (derived from 'mame-n-da'), mimicking the sound of pounding beans. Edamame is in season during the summer. In the past, families and relatives would gather during the Obon festival, and it was also prepared as an offering to ancestors. It is one of Miyagi's prideful delicacies, alongside Sasakamaboko and Gyutan (beef tongue).
