Kasagi Kusamochi (Mugwort Rice Cake)
The aroma of mugwort brings the essence of a spring satoyama (mountain village) to you. The kusamochi of Kasagi Town is charming for its simple, warm flavor that only handmade goods can provide. Kasagi Town is a nature-rich area spreading at the foot of Mount Kasagi, where massive boulders lie scattered. It is also a historical stage where Emperor Go-Daigo, who aspired to overthrow the Shogunate, retreated and fought during the late Kamakura period. The trees covering the granite mountainsides delight visitors with cherry blossoms in spring and autumn foliage in fall. Kusamochi kneaded with mugwort picked from such a mountain village features an exceptional vibrant green color and rich fragrance. It is a treat you'll want to savor slowly, along with the atmosphere of Kasagi surrounded by nature.
