Henba Mochi
Along the path to Ise Jingu, there is a mochi that has quietly accompanied pilgrims for generations. Henba Mochi is an Ise specialty continuously crafted by the Henba-ya shop, founded in An'ei 4 (1s775). It began with a teahouse established on the banks of the Miyagawa River. At that time, the area ahead was considered sacred ground, and travelers were required to turn back their horses here. Because this mochi was sold at the place where horses were returned ("Henba" or returning horses), it became known as "Henba Mochi." It is a name that truly evokes the history of the land. With its flat, round shape, toasted aroma, fine skin, and smooth red bean paste, its simple yet elegant taste has soothed the fatigue of travelers for 250 years.
