Amanatsu-mochi
The full potential of Izu's sweet summer citrus
Hiyashi Abekawa-mochi
Japanese notation "冷しあべ川もち"
The concept of “Hiyashi Abekawa-mochi” made by Mihomi Co. in Shizuoka Prefecture seems to be to eat “Abekawa-mochi” cold in the summer.
The package design has a catchy “Ukiyo-e” with a modern twist, just like summer. The package also said it was recommended to be eaten chilled in the refrigerator.
Open the package that has been kept in the refrigerator. Six transparent rice cakes and soybean flour in a tray are included.
It is said that “Abekawa-mochi” originated in Shizuoka City, where Tokugawa Ieyasu was once served this mochi when he stopped by the area and liked it so much that he named it “Abekawa-mochi” after the name of the place.
The soft rice cake, which has a soft and smooth texture like kuzumochi, is filled with “Kuromitsu” (black honey) and goes well with the texture of the cold kuzumochi. The concept of having Abekawa-mochi cooled down for the summer was a good idea.
