Koraimochi (Kikujudo)
This Koraimochi was created by the long-established 'Kikujodo Yoshinobu' in Kitahama, Osaka, as something for customers to enjoy while waiting for their custom-ordered wagashi (Japanese sweets). With a history dating back to the Tenpo era (1830–1844), the shop is a traditional townhouse located in a corner of the business district. The previous generation of owners devised this sweet with the wish that 'customers could taste the same bean paste we use in our main products.' It was named as a play on the shop's location, Koraibashi, and the house name of their favorite Kabuki actor, 'Koraya.' The patterns pressed into the surface with fingertips are said to be proof that the mochi is freshly made. Featuring five colors—chunky red bean, white bean, matcha, smooth red bean, and sesame—you can enjoy the softness of the gyuhi paired with the elegant sweetness of the bean paste. It is a well-known Osaka confection among connoisseurs, sometimes only available by reservation.
