Chaganju Kuzu Mochi Wagashi – 2x183g, Made in Japan by YAMASAN

Traditional Wagashi Kuzu Mochi

Experience a piece of traditional Japanese wagashi with Chaganju Kuzu Mochi. Each 2-pack box contains two portions, totaling 183g per pouch, crafted from Yoshino Kudzu arrowroot powder. The jelly appears clean and translucent, a testament to careful processing and a gentle, natural sweetness that lingers on the palate.

The key ingredient Yoshino Kudzu is a leguminous plant known for its robust sensory profile. Our production uses a traditional method dating back to the Edo period, delivering a delicate, white-hued powder where 100g of kudzu powder comes from 1kg of kudzu roots. These details matter for the texture and character of the finished wagashi.

Each piece relies on a simple ingredient list: sugar, kudzu powder, thickening polysaccharide, and glycine derived from egg, complemented by a brown sugar syrup and kinako roasted soybean powder. This keeps the sweetness natural and allows the subtle kudzu flavor to shine, a hallmark of classic wagashi.

Enjoyment and serving ideas

Chilled in the refrigerator, Kuzu Mochi reveals a smooth, almost glassy surface that melts gently in the mouth. It pairs beautifully with a cup of Japanese green tea, where the umami of the tea and the light sweetness of the jelly create a balanced moment.

• Chilled serving enhances texture and refreshment, especially in warm weather.
• Sprinkle kinako for a toasty aroma and a touch of roasted soybean flavor.
• As a refined dessert or light gift, it suits summer gatherings and seasonal celebrations.
