【The earth's treasure, the pinnacle of stickiness】 The golden rice cakes created by 'Yukawa Rice' nourish the heart.

Located in the center of the Aizu Basin, 'Yukawa Village' is renowned as a rice-producing area. The 'Yukawa Rice' harvested here is truly a pride of Fukushima, born from fertile soil, pure water, and the tireless efforts of farmers. The luxurious 'mochi' made from this top-quality rice exudes an overwhelming presence that you can taste in just one bite.

■ Amazingly elastic, with a clear 'sweetness of rice'

The greatest feature of the mochi made from Yukawa Rice is its extraordinary stickiness and the rich sweetness that bursts forth with each bite.

  • Pure white art: The finely kneaded mochi skin radiates a luster like that of a pearl. With minimal preservatives, the mochi harnesses the natural power of the rice, offering a fragrant aroma when grilled and a melt-in-your-mouth smoothness when boiled.
  • The traditional 'pounding' technique: The elasticity created by carefully steaming and vigorously pounding. It embodies the joy of special occasions once served at celebrations in rural villages.

■ Savor the rich scenery in a 'blissful moment'

Loved as a powerful energy source to get through the harsh winters of Aizu, Yukawa's mochi.

  • Diverse enjoyment: Of course, the classic soy sauce and sweet red bean paste, along with Aizu's unique 'jinenjo' and 'natto'. Because the ingredients are of high quality, they harmonize with any accompaniment, enhancing their deliciousness.

The scenery of Yukawa, with its golden rice ears swaying, is condensed into a single piece of mochi. Would you like to fully enjoy the 'true deliciousness of rice' that our ancestors have preserved?
