Azuki-mochi

Springy dough which beyond our imagination from its appearance

“Azuki-mochi” made by Sasaya Iori, a long-established Japanese confectionery store founded in 1716 in Kyoto, is a pancake filled with bean jam,  with a mochi (sticky, mochi-like texture) thin skin.

The package has a Japanese paper-like and is transparent.

Shaping like a Half-moon dorayaki, a pancake filled with bean jam.  The appearance is far from our imagination becaise it is so springy texture in fact.

It is very moist and transparent dough. This dough itself is like a rice cake. I am sure that a lot of rice flour is used.

Azuki bean paste is filled in it and tastes like Anko (sweet red bean paste) rice cake.  Thus naming Azuki mochi, red bean paste rice cake, is very appropriate for this confectionary.  It looks dorayaki but texture is more like mochi.
