Moriyama Wagashi (Japanese Sweets)
In Moriyama, which thrived as a post town on the Nakasendo highway, the culture of wagashi reflecting the seasons is still very much alive. Moriyama City is a town with a gentle climate located on the eastern shore of Lake Biwa. During the Edo period, it was known as 'Kyodachi Moriyama-domari,' bustling with travelers passing through the Nakasendo. The wagashi nurtured within this history are characterized by simple yet elegant flavors, including mochi sweets and seasonal nerikiri. The techniques of long-established shops are still carefully passed down today. These treats, which make use of seasonal ingredients, are beautiful to look at and perfect with tea. They are a sweetness unique to Moriyama that you can enjoy while feeling the traces of the old post town. Please do try them during your travels.
