Hatta Kashipo Obako-mochi
While strolling through the Bukeyashiki (Samurai Residence) Street in Kakunodate, Hatta Kashipo is a shop you'll find yourself wanting to stop by. This long-established confectionery, with over 100 years of history, proudly features "Obako-mochi" on its sign. In the local dialect, "Obako" means a young girl, and true to its name, it is a gentle and charming rice cake. Obako-mochi is a type of yubeshi (sweetened rice cake) made with dough crafted from high-quality Akita rice, kneaded with locally produced walnuts. The seasoning uses soy sauce from Ando Brewing, a long-standing establishment in Kakunodate, creating a subtle savory aroma beneath the sweetness. The simple, bite-sized portions that fit perfectly in the palm of your hand reflect a spirit of hospitality. With its chewy texture, the aroma of walnuts, and the deep richness of the soy sauce, it is a quintessential Kakunodate confection that makes you want to take a relaxing break with a cup of tea after touring the samurai residences.
