Very little has changed at Ichiwa (一和) since it started business 1000 years ago.
Once pounded by hand using a spring in the store's cellar, the mochi is now made by machine with tap water (for health reasons the shop can no longer use its private well).

Actually both Kazariya and Ichiwa have some wonderful decorations and good luck charms on display.
