Kagi-ya Mochi Shop

3.5

Kagi-ya is a mochi shop that sells both inexpensive candies and Japanese-style sweets in a corner of the Shichifuku Shopping District, which runs through the center of Iga-Ueno, the so-called Ninja Village. Its most famous product is Ninja Dango, supposedly inspired by the ninja warriors: sweet rice paste dumplings served two-by-two on skewers, with a white head and a blue-green body. This shop is said to have been in existence for over 350 years, and the Ninja Dango, a long-time favorite of local residents, were available long before ninja became a famous part of Japanese popular culture. Inspired by Shirimochi-zaka Slope on the Yamato Road, mentioned in the works of the haiku poet Basho, Shirimochi is another well-known product. In the summer, the shop sells shaved ice, and unlike most such vendors, it still uses an electrically powered ice shaving machine, whose sound gives the process a nostalgic feeling.

和菓子屋さんです。おはぎを買いました。もち米は粘り気が強かったです。あんこは表面にたっぷり塗っていてとても食べ応えありました。桜餅や団子、まんじゅうもあるので好きなものを買ってみてください。
昔ながらの和菓子屋さんです。
