Fujishiro Yaki-mochi (Grilled Mochi)
This simple grilled mochi has quietly welcomed travelers walking along the Kumano Kodo. Fujishiro in Kainan City is known as a key point on the ancient pilgrimage route, where travelers heading toward the Kumano Sanzan mountains approach the Fujishiro-zaka slope. In this place, which has seen many people passing through since the era of the Manyoshu poetry collection, Fujishiro Yaki-mochi has satisfied the hunger of passersby and gently healed the fatigue of their journeys. The mochi is grilled to a light toastiness and filled with a subtle sweetness of red bean paste; one bite is enough to let you take a relaxing breath. As you reflect on the ancient pilgrimage paths, please savor this nostalgic flavor that has been loved for generations. Its gentle sweetness will soak into your weary body.
