Yasunaga Mochi Honpo Kashiwaya
A historic confectionery shop from the Edo period, continuously crafting 'Yasunaga Mochi,' the famous specialty of Kuwana on the Tokaido highway. Hokkaido azuki bean paste is wrapped in a flat elongated mochi and hand-grilled one by one. No artificial colors or additives. One minute on foot from Nishi-Kuwana Station. Sells out daily. The lightly sweet, freshly grilled mochi has been a Kuwana souvenir staple for over 100 years.
