Hashii-mochi
Soft, moist mochi filled with refined smooth red bean paste. With a single bite, a gentle, silky sweetness spreads through your mouth—this is the Hashii-mochi, passed down from Otsu-Oiwake. Hashii-mochi was born in the mid-Edo period at a teahouse near 'Hashii,' the famous spring water of the Otsu-Tokaido post station. It is said to have originated when mochi made with this pure water was shaped like the tip of a sword and served to travelers. It has been loved by those traveling the Tokaido as a lucky charm to ward off misfortune. With smooth red bean paste wrapped in a thin layer of mochi, it offers a simple yet elegant flavor. This historic treat is perfect with tea, gently enveloping your memories of travel through Otsu in sweetness.
