Tango Mochi Sweets

Born from the climate of Tango, which has endured the harsh winters of the Sea of Japan—these are simple mochi sweets. They feature soft, sweet mochi made using rice from the Tango region. The Tango region, including Kyotango, is located on the snow-heavy Sea of Japan side. The culture of mochi sweets has been carefully nurtured as a food for winter preservation, as well as a delicacy for daily life and celebratory occasions. Mochi, painstakingly pounded by hand, was an essential element in gatherings where families came together. The chewy texture, which is only possible because high-quality Tango rice is used, is also a major part of its charm. Though unpretentious, the gentle sweetness of the rice spreads with every bite. It is a comforting Japanese sweet that has stayed close to the lives of the people of Tango.
