Seasonal Mochi with Japanese Mugwort
Discover Yamamotoya Kusa Daifuku, a traditional Japanese rice cake beloved for its unique herbal essence. The soft, chewy mochi (rice cake) shell is blended with finely chopped Yomogi (Japanese mugwort), giving the dough its characteristic light green colour and a fresh, grassy aroma. Inside, the mochi encases a filling of smooth, subtly sweet azuki (red) bean paste, creating a harmonious contrast of flavours.An Earthy and Sweet Flavour Profile
This Daifuku offers a delightful interplay between the earthy notes of the Yomogi and the comforting sweetness of the azuki bean paste. The herbal fragrance of the mochi is immediately noticeable, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the dense, smooth filling. The tender texture of the rice cake and the creamy filling combine for a satisfying and traditional wagashi (Japanese sweet) experience.How to Enjoy
To fully appreciate the mochi's soft texture and the Yomogi's delicate aroma, consume this Kusa Daifuku at room temperature. It traditionally pairs well with a hot, slightly robust green tea, such as Genmaicha (green tea with roasted brown rice), as the nutty notes of the tea complement the herbal essence of the mochi. For the best quality and texture, consume shortly after opening.Nutrition & Ingredients

Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended way to serve Yamamotoya Kusa Daifuku for optimal enjoyment?
Yamamotoya Kusa Daifuku is typically enjoyed at room temperature. For the best soft texture and aroma, allow it to sit out for about 15-30 minutes if it has been refrigerated.
Are there any recommended pairings or additions to complement the flavor of Kusa Daifuku?
Kusa Daifuku pairs wonderfully with a cup of green tea, particularly sencha or hojicha, which complement its slightly bitter herbal notes and sweet bean paste. Some enjoy it with kinako (roasted soybean flour) or a light dusting of matcha powder for added depth.
How does Yamamotoya Kusa Daifuku compare to other types of Daifuku, such as Ichigo Daifuku (strawberry daifuku) or plain Shiro Daifuku (white daifuku)?
Yamamotoya Kusa Daifuku distinguishes itself with the inclusion of yomogi, or Japanese mugwort, in the mochi. This gives it a unique earthy, slightly herbal aroma and a distinctive green color, unlike plain Shiro Daifuku which has no herbal addition, or Ichigo Daifuku which features a whole strawberry inside.
What is the best way to maintain the soft texture of Yamamotoya Kusa Daifuku if it needs to be stored for a short period?
To best preserve its soft texture, store Yamamotoya Kusa Daifuku in an airtight container at room temperature and consume it within the day of purchase. Refrigeration can harden the mochi, but it can be softened again by allowing it to return to room temperature. Freezing is not recommended as it significantly alters the texture.
Is it possible to gently warm Yamamotoya Kusa Daifuku, and what method would be best?
While typically eaten at room temperature, a very brief warming can enhance the mochi's softness. Place it in a microwave for 10-15 seconds on low power. Be cautious not to overheat, as this can cause the mochi to become too sticky or melt the bean paste.
