"Tsukitate Mochi Gaya," quietly nestled in Ebisu, Tokyo, is a luxurious shop where you can savor freshly-made soft rice cakes as the name suggests.
The owner, Mr. Akamatsu, is originally from Kyoto. Inspired by the deliciousness of freshly-made rice cakes, he wanted to deliver that taste in Tokyo. And thus, meticulously crafted, moist, soft rice cakes were born.
To bring out the inherent umami of rice cakes to the fullest, Mr. Akamatsu uses carefully selected domestically-produced mochi rice. The sweetness and aroma of the rice spread in your mouth. Furthermore, there is meticulous attention to the combination of ingredients such as azuki bean paste, kinako, and others.
Here, you can enjoy gentle and sweet kinako rice cakes, elegantly refined mitarashi rice cakes, and sticky, chewy azuki bean paste rice cakes. However, the freshness of the morning harvest is crucial for this luxury. As time passes, the rice cakes gradually become hard, so it is recommended to visit early to enjoy the fresh texture.
Why not experience the luxurious moment of one-time meeting in the streets of Ebisu? You will surely be intoxicated by the nostalgic and warm superb taste of freshly-made rice cakes.
