Inunaki-yama Mochi of Izumisano
Mount Inunaki is a sacred site said to have been founded by En no Gyoja, the founder of Shugendo. The mochi sweets of Inunaki-yama have long been enjoyed along the approach to this deep mountain sanctuary. Shippo-taki Temple in Mount Inunaki is said to have been established in the 7th year of Empress Saimei (661). Because it was founded earlier than Mount Omine, it is known as 'Genzo-zan,' a fundamental training ground for Shugendo. The name of the mountain itself is said to originate from the legend of a loyal dog that saved its master from a giant serpent by barking. These mochi sweets have long been cherished by pilgrims visiting this sacred spiritual site. After traversing the training grounds surrounded by lush greenery and waterfalls, enjoying this simple sweetness provides a sense of relief. It is a flavor unique to Inunaki-yama that gently relaxes both the mind and body after a long trek.
