Uzumaki Mochi
The spiral shape embodies a story of longing for one's hometown. 'Uzumaki Mochi' is a traditional confection from the Hiketa area in eastern Kagawa Prefecture, made by rolling smooth red bean paste inside thin layers of mochi. It is said that this swirl represents the 'Naruto Whirlpools.' Legend has it that when the people of Hiketa were forced away from the Naruto Sea, which was once their vital fishing ground, they entrusted their feelings to this sweet, hoping to at least keep the whirlpools as part of Hiketa. Even today, it remains an essential offering for memorial services and seasonal festivals. With its chewy mochi and the gentle, simple taste of red bean paste, please feel the history of the land with every bite. We invite you to savor this authentic taste of Hiketa, passed down since ancient times.
