Mangetsu Main Store

Ajari mochi can sometimes be enjoyed so freshly made that one customer was surprised by how hot it was when they took a bite straight after buying it. People who ate their mochi on the spot at the main store have praised the thin, chewy skin and the flavour of the azuki beans in the smooth red bean filling. That warm, soft texture makes for a different experience from the usual Ajari mochi.

You can buy a few individually, eat one straight away and take the rest home. Freshly made pieces are not available at fixed times, though some customers have managed to buy them warm during the day. If you are hoping to catch them fresh from the oven, allow plenty of time for your visit. One customer also reported waiting on a chair inside the shop.

If you would like to try another sweet, Mangetsu and monaka are among the options on the menu. Customers have shared impressions of Mangetsu, making it one to consider if you want to pair Ajari mochi with a different confection. The shop accepts cash only, so come prepared.
