Koyasan Yaki-mochi (Grilled Rice Cake)
A rustic, toasted aroma enjoyed while walking along the approach—the grilled mochi sold at the gates of Koyasan is a famous confectionery that has long been cherished by pilgrims. This dish features rice cake flattened and grilled to a golden brown on both sides, filled with homemade smooth red bean paste. Available in both white and mugwort varieties, the fragrant aroma of mugwort combined with the gentle sweetness of the bean paste leaves a lasting impression. With some shops boasting 300 years of history, it is a timeless flavor that has been loved by travelers and pilgrims since ancient times. Since it has a good shelf life, it also makes for a wonderful souvenir. Lured by the irresistible scent of freshly grilled dough, you'll find yourself stopping in your tracks. It is a comforting snack to enjoy during a break from visiting the sacred peak.
