Keshi Mochi (Honke Kojima)
This is a signature confection of Sakai, consisting of small mochi filled with smooth red bean paste and covered entirely in poppy seeds. It is produced by 'Honke Kojima,' founded in the first year of the Tenbun era (1532). Since the invention of Keshi Mochi in the town of Sakai—which flourished through trade with the Netherlands and other foreign nations during the Muromachi period—the company has preserved its secret recipe, passed down from father to son, for over four centuries. It is a highly prestigious flavor said to have been loved by Sen no Rikyu, the master who perfected the tea ceremony. The fragrant, crunchy texture of the poppy seeds harmonizes beautifully with the smooth, elegant sweetness of the red bean paste. We invite you to experience this simple yet profound flavor, nurtured by the tea ceremony culture of Sakai.
