Kameya Mannendo announced on its official website that "Serious Kashiwa Mochi" will be available as a limited-time-only Japanese confectionery, starting on March 24 and available only at direct sales stores.

This product is made in the hope that children will grow up healthy and carefree. The oak leaf is characterized by the fact that the old leaves do not fall off until new shoots appear, and it is believed to have been valued as a symbol of prosperity of family fortune and offspring, leading to the custom of eating it on Tango-no Sekku.

Kameya Mannendo's Kashiwa Mochi is a rice cake that is soft and crispy and filled with various kinds of flavorful red bean paste, while retaining its firmness so that it can be enjoyed as a good luck charm.


Three varieties are available: "Koshi-an," a moderately sweet version made in-house with pure white rice cake, "Tsubu-an," with the right amount of azuki bean texture matched with aromatic mugwort rice cake, and "Miso-an," with a mellow miso flavor wrapped in a slightly yellow-colored rice cake. The sales period differs depending on the type. The dates of sale are as follows

Koshi An (Koshi bean paste) March 24 - May 12
Tsubu-an March 24 - May 12
