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).

Wonderful aburi-mochi, all 11 quite easy to devour in a matter of moments.

Nao-san has a break from having to model eating aburi-mochi.

Right up to the end of WWII the store ran an honor system, with guests paying what they could for a plate of aburi-mochi (あぶり餅). Nowadays it costs 500 yen for 11 skewers of mochi and a pot of tea.
And it is worth every penny🙌🍡✨
