Kawaguchiya Kin no Butter Mochi
This product is Kawaguchiya's commercial version of 'Butter Mochi,' a local confection born in Kita-Akita City made by kneading butter and egg yolk into glutinous rice. It features a rich, melting texture, a chewy consistency, and a simple, gentle sweetness that keeps you coming back for more. The roots of Butter Mochi lie in the portable food carried by Matagi (traditional hunters) entering the mountains in winter. It is said that adding butter prevented it from hardening over time, making it highly valued as a nutritious and satiating preserved food. It is a flavor filled with the wisdom that supported arduous work in the cold mountains. 'Kin no Butter Mochi' is a renowned confection that has even won the JR East Souvenir Grand Prix. Please enjoy this taste of a warm mountain village, which becomes even more fragrant when warmed slightly.
