Yesterday my mother bought me a Shingen-mochi.
Do you know it?
This is what it looks like.
It looks delicious!!
I've only known this since high school, so I haven't eaten it even 5 times. But I love shingen-mochi so much.
Here's some information.
Shingen-mochi, is a Japanese souvenir mainly made and popular in Yamanashi prefecture. It's kind of like a rice cake, covered with soybean flower called kinako and black honey(kuromitsu).
The name "Shingen-mochi" is named after the famous shogun Takeda Shingen.
When you take it back home, like my mother did, it comes in a special package, and this is what it looks like.
There are 3 in this package. I've only eaten it like this.
I thought Shingen-mochi is so rare that you can't get it so easily, but it looks like you can buy it at Shinjyuku, Ikebukuro, Machida and many other places.
Machida! That's close from school! Now, let's go and get it right away.
