Shunan's Famous Confection: Kano Sobamochi
This is a simple soba mochi passed down in the mountain village of Kano, Shunan City. Its charm lies in the unique aroma of buckwheat flour and its chewy texture. Kano is located at the western edge of the Chugoku Mountains, featuring large temperature fluctuations between day and night and frequent mist, making it ideal land for cultivating buckwheat. In this region where high-quality buckwheat grows, buckwheat-based mochi has been crafted as a local specialty. The flavor of the buckwheat, nurtured by clear streams and a cool climate, lives on in the dough, creating a simple yet profound taste. Its charm is a nostalgic deliciousness that is perfect with tea. With just one bite, the gentle aroma of buckwheat wafts through your nose. It is a simple, famous confection unique to Shunan Kano, nurtured by the pure nature of the mountain valleys.
