Ubaga-mochi
A gentle-looking mochi topped with a small, delicate piece of white nerikiri. This Kusatsu specialty consists of mochi wrapped in smooth red bean paste and topped with yam nerikiri. The origins of Ubaga-mochi date back to the Eiroku era of the Sengoku period. It is said that a wet nurse, who was caring for an infant of the Sasaki clan destroyed by Oda Nobunaga, began selling mochi along the Tokaido road to fund the child's upbringing. Eventually, it came to be known as 'Uba ga mochi' (the old woman's mochi) and became a specialty of the Kusatsu-juku post town. It has been loved by many famous figures, including Tokugawa Ieyasu and Matsuo Basho. Passed down for over 450 years, it offers a mellow smooth red bean paste flavor. This is a pride of Kusatsu that conveys the nostalgic atmosphere of traveling the Tokaido to this day. It also makes a wonderful souvenir for travelers.
