Cinnamon Mochi (Sakai)
Mochi infused with the aroma of cinnamon—'Nikkei Mochi' is a Japanese sweet unique to Sakai, carrying the scent of Nanban trade history. During the Azuchi-Momoyama period, many spices were brought to Sakai, known as the 'Venice of the Orient,' through foreign trade. It is said that the ancestors of Yaogen Raiko-do transformed cinnamon, which was previously used only as medicine, into a new type of Japanese confectionery. This is a historic flavor that has been passed down in the land of Sakai for approximately 400 years. Smooth mochi encloses fine red bean paste, wrapped in a gentle aroma of cinnamon for an exotic taste. It is a masterpiece imbued with wabi-sabi, evoking the history of Sakai, the birthplace of Sen no Rikyu.
