From Kiyoken, "Hitokuchi Ohagi" will appear as a Japanese sweet that matches the equinoctial week. It will be handled from March 17th to 21st.

The selling price is 480 yen (tax included) per set, and the contents are 6 pieces. At Kiyoken, Botamochi is prepared every year according to the equinoctial week, but this time the package design has been redesigned.


The rice inside is made into a bite-sized piece that is easy to eat, using rice with a chewy texture unique to Kiyoken and azuki bean paste with a low sweetness.

It is made with a refreshing aftertaste and is devised so that it can be enjoyed widely from tea making to dessert after meals. It is sold at room temperature and has an expiration date of 18 hours from manufacture.

The arrival of the equinox in the spring of 2021 is March 17, and the end of the equinox is March 23, with March 20 of the middle day (Vernal Equinox Day) in between.

There are about 150 stores that handle Hitokuchi Ohagi, mainly in Kanagawa and Tokyo. You can search the location and business hours of stores in both prefectures from the official website.
