Hiraizumi Kogane-mochi (Golden Mochi)

The 'Hiraizumi Kogane-mochi' is a rice cake confection that evokes the golden culture of the Oshu Fujiwara clan. Hiraizumi is a land where the Oshu Fujiwara clan flourished for approximately 100 years across three generations during the late Heian period, and its cultural heritage, including Chuson-ji Konjikido (the Golden Hall), was registered as a World Heritage site in 2011. The memories of a dazzling golden culture, told by the Konjikido covered entirely in gold leaf, still quietly live on in this land. This auspicious treat features a golden-glowing mochi that softly reflects the prosperity of Hiraizumi. It is a confection that travelers visiting this World Heritage town will want to take home along with the romance of history. Please enjoy this auspicious sweet, perfect for the lingering emotions of a journey after visiting Chuson-ji Konjikido.
