Taihaku Nagamochi
Yokkaichi is home to another long, slender baked rice cake with a deep history. Taihaku Nagamochi is a famous confection of Yokkaichi, continuously produced by Kinjoken, which was founded in the fourth year of the Keio era (1868). It is said to have begun when a teahouse was opened at a post station on the Ise Kaido highway, serving freshly baked rice cakes to travelers on pilgrimage. This additive-free rice confectionery is finished by hand-baking each piece using only carefully selected domestic glutinous rice and red beans from Hokkaido. Alongside Nagamochi, this is one of Yokkaichi's proud flavors, featuring bean paste wrapped in a long, slender shape and baked to a fragrant finish. Its simple and gentle sweetness has been cherished for over 150 years as a source of energy for travelers. It is an item that is delightful both as a snack with tea or as a souvenir from a journey.
