Kasagi Kinako Mochi
This is a simple rice cake from Kasagi Town, generously coated in kinako. Its fragrant aroma and gentle sweetness evoke a sense of nostalgia. Kasagi Town is a nature-rich area spreading at the foot of Mount Kasagi, which is known for its massive boulders. It is also known as a historical stage where Emperor Go-Daigo took refuge during the late Kamakura period, offering beautiful seasonal mountain scenery, including granite rock formations, cherry blossoms in spring, and autumn foliage. This treat features rice cake pounded in such a satoyama (mountain village) landscape, lightly enveloped in fragrant kinako. While unpretentious, the flavor of the soybeans and the sweetness of the mochi spread gently with every bite. It is a confection you'll want to enjoy while taking a relaxing break amidst the nature of Kasagi.
