Tsukimado-mochi
This is the story of 'Tsukimado-mochi,' a soft and famous sweet inspired by the moon over Ozu Castle. It is said that the name was given by the third feudal lord, Yasuaki, derived from the pseudonym 'Tsukimado' (Moon Window) of the second lord, Kato Yasuoki, who was fond of this confection. The sweets are crafted by a long-established shop founded in 1624. Featuring smooth adzuki bean paste gently wrapped in warabi-mochi and dusted with fluffy green soybean powder (kinako), its specialty is a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Preserving a production method unchanged for approximately 400 years, each piece is still wrapped by hand. The fragrant kinako and the elegant sweetness of the bean paste dissolve beautifully when paired with tea—a treat that allows you to taste the history of the castle town of Ozu on your palate.
