Gohei Mochi
A mountain village delicacy where the fragrant miso sauce melts away the fatigue of travel. Gohei Mochi is a local dish passed down in the Oku-Mikawa region, including Shinshiro and Toei towns in Aichi Prefecture. Flattened rice is shaped onto skewers, coated with a sweet miso glaze containing walnuts and sesame seeds, and grilled over charcoal. It has historically been a simple food eaten during breaks from mountain work and has been served at traditional community events like Flower Festivals. An interesting feature is that the shapes vary by settlement, ranging from sandal-shaped to dumpling-shaped. It has been passed down as a form of wisdom to transform plain rice into a feast within the lifestyle of the mountain villages. You can enjoy them freshly grilled at places like Michi-no-Eki Moccoru Shinshiro. This is a unique treat of Oku-Mikawa, where the savory miso and the sweetness of the rice intertwine.
