"Sakura Mochi"
The expected flowering of cherry blossoms has begun to appear, and cherry blossom rice cakes have begun to line up at the Japanese confectionery shop. It's "spring".
As you all know, "Sakuramochi" Kansai uses Domyoji fabric and Kanto uses flour dough.
According to Naomi Aoki of Toraya Bunko's "History of Japanese Confectionery", the origin of sakura mochi is "the beginning of making it at a teahouse located on the precincts of Kyoto Saga / Kraori Shrine." It is said that the shrine is called "Sakuranomiya". In Kansai, Domyoji Temple is also known as Sakuramochi.
In the Kanto region, "planting cherry blossoms in Asukayama, Gotenyama, Sumida River, and Koganei due to the park policy of Yatsushiro Shogun and Yoshimune. Trees were managed by the profits of the teahouse, and it is said that in the late Edo period, the ancestors of Yamamotoya, who still continue in front of Mukaijima Chomei Terakado, devised Sakuramochi. "
In the late Edo period, "Rabbit Garden Novel" (1825), which introduces the popularity of cherry blossom rice cakes, "Sumida River Sakura Mochi", "The purchase price of one year in 1810, 31 barrels of cherry blossoms pickled in one barrel (however, about 25,000 pieces are put in about 775,000 pieces of leaves (however, 2 pieces per 18, 18, 18000000000000000000000000 each). One value, four sentences, this fee is 1,550 sentences, gold is converted to 227 cars, 250 sentences and 450 sentences. The average daily sales volume of the year is about 120 yen per day, according to Hirofumi Yamamoto's "Edo's Zen Account". In the official discount rate of 1657 (1657), 1 car = 60 momme = 4,000 yen)
It is a great care for Yamamotoya's ancestors, but today we are the best record that we can know about the "Sakuramochi business" of the Edo period. I'm happy to see you.
This is another version of the Kanto system, Akebono's "Fukusa Wrapping" Sakuramochi (248 yen) I've never seen it elsewhere.
Introducing Sakura Mochi (194 yen) of Sentaro, which has a head office in Kyoto as a Domyoji system, and Sakura Mochi (280 yen) of Seigetsu Domoto store as a Chomeiji system. All sales are until mid-April.
It is an extra care, but "Sentaro"'s bookmark says, "I would like you to eat it by hand." I would like you to do it with light pacli and Musha Musha instead of using black letters. "
