Shibata Koma-mochi

An adorable mochi confection that captures the essence of the festivals that color Iwate in early summer in bite-sized pieces. The 'Chagu Chagu Umakko' is a seasonal tradition in Iwate, where decorated horses parade from Takizawa to Morioka. Its name comes from the 'chagu-chagu' sound of the bells attached to the horses. 'Koma-mochi' is a treat shaped like those festive horses (koma). Soft mochi dough gently envelops bean paste, transforming Iwate's festival culture of cherishing horses into a lovely sweet. Its charm lies in its chewy texture and comforting sweetness. This confection conveys the warm hearts of the people of Iwate, who have lived alongside horses. It is a treat you will want to savor one by one while imagining the bustle of the festival.
