A comfortable store with a gentle atmosphere

How about trying the ”Rokujo Oyakimochi” (roasted rice cakes) which were loved by the saint Shinran at the store facing Horikawa Street right in front of Nishihonganji Temple?
The red bean paste with an elegant flavour is thinly wrapped by Mochi (rice cake) dough and it is popular for being soft and delicious even when it gets cold.
Please stop by for a while on the occasion of your next trip and have a look at the store.

The specialty ”Rokujo Oyakimochi” (Roasted Rice Cake)

There are the popular classic red Azuki bean rice cake and the Yuzu rice cake which has a slight fragrance of citrus fruits.
You can buy a single rice cake or casually get a takeaway with individual packaging. If the weather is good you can eat it while walking or take it home and have it as a little snack.
