[Ise, Mie Prefecture] I ate Henbaya Mochi at the entrance to Okage Yokocho!

Henba mochi is said to have originated from the fact that it was eaten near the place where horses were returned, called henbajo. It is a rather unusual rice cake snack whose name reflects the history of the time. This shop is characterized by its cafe-like structure where you can enjoy the rice cakes you purchase with self-service tea. The rice cakes are fluffy and chewy. They are filled with plenty of red bean paste and are reasonably priced, so you'll want to eat a lot! They don't keep well, but you can buy them as souvenirs, so I ate them on the train on the way home.
