Yoshino Kuzu-mochi
Yoshino Kuzu-mochi is an elegant Japanese sweet that Nara's Yoshino region takes great pride in. The primary ingredient is Yoshino Hon-kuzu, considered the highest grade of kuzu. Yoshino Hon-kuzu is produced using a traditional method called 'Yoshino Sarashi,' where starch extracted from kuzu roots is repeatedly washed in cold water during the harshest winter months. This meticulous process, which spares no effort, results in a crystal-clear beauty and a chewy texture. It is the culmination of craftsmanship that has continued uninterrupted since the Edo period. Take a smooth bite accompanied by plenty of kinako and kuromitsu. A silky texture and elegant sweetness spread across the palate. This is a refreshing dish born from the nature and techniques of Yoshino, and it has long been cherished as a summer gift from Nara.
