Japanese Sweets from Hiroshima
"Kawadori Mochi"
Skewered c with KINAKO(Soybean flour)
A traditional Japanese sweets from Hiroshima.
There is a historical story with the sweets.
When a daimyo feudal lord faced to an enemy forces over a river, some pebbles come up the surface.
Then the pebbles come into the stirrup of the lord's horse. And he kept to fight with the pebbles. Finally they defeated their opponents. The lord thought that the pebbles brought us a fortune, and took the pebbles and dedicate that to Miyazaki Hachiman-gu Shrine.
Since that, They have compared the rice dumplings to the pebbles, and eat them.
"Kawadori" means across a river.
The grandson of the feudal lord moved to Hirochima, The customs became popular in Hiroshima.
A customer gave us the sweets from Hiroshima.
By the way, it's another Hiroshima guest from a guest who gave us "Sake" before.
Many guests comes here from Hiroshima.
The skewered rice dumplings were really taste!
Thank you very much!
