Oyamazaki Perilla Mochi
A gentle, fragrant aroma wafts through the air—this is a simple mochi confection using perilla, unique to Oyamazaki Town, the birthplace of perilla oil. Oyamazaki Town is known as the 'birthplace of perilla oil,' where a priest from the Riku-hachiman Shrine invented an oil press called 'Nagaki' during the Heian period and began producing perilla oil. The produced oil was offered to shrines and temples for use in ritual lamps, and eventually, the town became widely known as a prosperous autonomous city through oil production. It is a town with a history revered as the 'ancestor of oil.' Inheriting this prestigious heritage, this mochi confection combines the fragrant aroma of perilla with chewy, soft mochi. Please enjoy this deeply flavorful treat, filled with the story of Oyamazaki.
