Cha-mochi
Japanese notation "茶餅"
“Cha-mochi” made by “Kasho Rokubei” a confectioner established in 1926 in Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture. Rokubei is a confectioner that is particular about its ingredients, some of which are grown in their own fields.
Shiga Prefecture is said to be the birthplace of Japanese tea, and it is said that the seeds were brought back from Tang China by the great teacher Saicho, who is said to have founded Enryakuji Temple, and planted in Otsu and Sakamoto (Shiga Prefecture) at the foot of Mount Hiei.
The skin of the manju is made of Hojicha (roasted green tea) produced in Shiga Prefecture.
The sticky, thin dough has a gentle aroma of Hojicha green tea.
The combination of azuki bean paste and hojicha-flavored manju dough is, needless to say, a good match. It was a manju with a harmonious and gentle sweetness.
