Demachi Futaba's Mame-mochi
Filled with plenty of salty red peas—this is the signature Mame-mochi from the renowned Demachiyanagi shop 'Demachi Futaba.' It is one of Kyoto's most popular Japanese sweets, with endless queues every day. Founded in 1899 (Meiji 32), it is said to began when the founder placed bean mochi from his hometown in Ishikawa into an anko filling. This exquisite item shines through its commitment to ingredients: mochi mixed with red peas from Hokkaido, enveloping smooth anko made from Tokachi adzuki beans—using Habutae glutinous rice from Shiga. While it does not keep well, the emotion of eating it freshly made is exceptional. The softness of the mochi, the saltiness of the peas, and the elegant sweetness of the smooth anko harmonize beautifully. The deliciousness of it being freshly made is incomparable. It is a masterpiece worth waiting in line for.
