Nozaki Mairi Wagashi (Nozaki Pilgrimage Japanese Sweets)
The 'Nozaki Mairi' is a seasonal spring tradition also depicted in Rakugo. This Japanese sweet has been beloved at Nozaki Kannon in Daito City, the setting of that tradition. Nozaki Kannon (Jigan-ji Temple) is an ancient temple said to have begun approximately 1,300 years ago when Gyoki carved and enshrined an Eleven-faced Kannon statue. The 'Nozaki Mairi' pilgrimage, which has continued since the Genroku era, is a ritual of offering sutras in gratitude to all living beings. In the past, it was a bustling event with people traveling up the river by boat, even becoming the subject of Kamigata Rakugo plays. Along with that historical bustle, this sweet offers a simple and warm flavor that has been loved over many years. It is a unique confection of Nozaki, fragrant with the memories of ancient history and the laughter of the Kamigata region.
