Habutae Mochi

As soon as it enters your mouth, it melts away. Soft, smooth, and subtly sweet—the charm of Habutae Mochi lies in its silk-like melt-in-the-mouth sensation. The name is derived from 'Habutae,' a high-quality silk fabric that was once a specialty of Fukui. It is a soft, lustrous cloth woven without twisting the warp and weft threads. This confectionery expresses that very texture using glutinous rice. It is said to have been devised around 1897 by Matsuoka-ken in Fukui and named 'Habutae Mochi.' While the base ingredient, gyuhi, has existed since ancient times, there are various theories regarding its origin as a specific confectionery. Perfect as a snack with tea or as a souvenir. It is a representative confection of Fukui, as gentle as silk.
