Kumano Moude Mochi
Kumano Moude Mochi is a renowned specialty of Shingu, long beloved by travelers on pilgrimages to Kumano. 'Moude' refers to the act of visiting a shrine; Kumano has been a place visited by many people for worship since ancient times. This sweet was created to honor the feelings of those who traveled far to reach Kumano in the past, and to wish for the good health of those visiting today. Featuring soft mochi wrapped around smooth red bean paste and lightly dusted with fragrant brown rice flour, its simple flavor is well-known as a favorite of the Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine. The wrapper features the design of the Go-o-fu (Ox Talisman) passed down through the Kumano Sanzan shrines, subtly evoking the sacred atmosphere of pilgrimage. Please pick one up as a memento of your journey along the Kumano Kodo.
