An'yomochi
There is a type of mochi that travelers on their pilgrimage to Ise would purchase at the inns in Kuwana. An'yomochi is a representative confection of Kuwana. It is said to have originated from grilled mochi sold in the teahouse district of 'An'ei' in the Kuwana post town along the Tokaido during the Edo period, and the name was taken directly from that place name. Mochi made from local glutinous rice is generously filled with chunky red bean paste and grilled to a fragrant finish. It has a long, flat shape with a lovely toasted color. Shops such as Nagamochiya Shinise and An'yomochi Honpo Kashiwaya continue to make them today using their respective traditional methods. The simple taste of freshly pounded and freshly grilled mochi is truly a classic souvenir for those traveling to Ise from Kuwana. Eating one fresh on the spot is also a truly exceptional experience.
