The Yamakuni area of Keihoku is located in the headwaters of the Katsura River in the northwestern part of Kyoto City. The Yamakuni Sakigake Center, established by local residents, uses ingredients grown in the rich natural environment of Keihoku to produce and sell natto rice cakes and other specialty products. The glutinous rice, natto (fermented soybeans), and soybeans used for soybean flour are all grown in Keihoku. The natto rice cake with sugar is made by wrapping large natto (fermented soybeans) with sugar and salt in a rice cake, giving it a unique sweet and sour taste that is sure to become addictive. Natto mochi with or without sugar is one of the traditional local ways of eating natto mochi. With \"Amisamochi,\" natto rice cake with sugar, which was able to be commercialized after much trial and error, one should experience the taste loved by the people of Keihoku. Since it is delivered frozen, it is best to enjoy it by roasting it on a hot plate, pan fryer, or shichirin (a charcoal brazier) after thawing it naturally.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":44583,"template":"","tags":[],"mall_tag":[],"mall_category":[864,930],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
