Saio-mochi
Did you know that in the ancient Heian period, there were imperial princesses who served the Ise Grand Shrine? Saio-mochi is a Japanese confection named after the site of the Saigu in Meiwa Town. The 'Saio' refers to unmarried imperial princesses who traveled all the way from the capital to Ise to serve the Ise Grand Shrine in place of the Emperor. It is said that a truly magnificent procession, accompanied by approximately five hundred attendants, traveled from the capital toward the Saigu. This refined rice cake reflects that elegant history. With just one bite, you feel as though you are being gently transported to the graceful world of the Saigu that unfolded in this land over a thousand years ago. It is a souvenir that evokes a sense of historical romance. If you visit Meiwa Town, this is an elegant confection we truly want you to taste.
