Hataei An-goma Mochi (Red Bean & Black Sesame Mochi)

This is the most famous mochi confection from Hataei, a confectionery in Hachirogata Town. It features a simple, rustic flavor where soft mochi is wrapped in elegant smooth red bean paste and plenty of ground sesame. The gentle sweetness of the bean paste and the fragrant aroma of the sesame melt together exquisitely. Legend has it that the product began when the second-generation owner tried adding sesame to red bean mochi at his family dining table; it gained such a reputation among neighbors and relatives that it was eventually commercialized. Today, it is so popular that it sometimes sells out on weekday mornings, with customers constantly buying it by the box. This item is made without pre-stocking, prioritizing freshness and softness above all else. Please try this flavor that has been loved in Akita for a long time.
