Since its establishment in 1708, Ise Genroku has continued to make Japanese sweets using only the finest ingredients. Hon-nama Warabi Mochi is very popular for its melt-in-your-mouth texture. The hand-cutting process results in an uneven cross-section, which allows the kinako (soybean flour) to be covered tightly and the flavor of the kurojyu-soybean kinako to be felt even more.
