Ubagamochiya main store

Kusatsu-juku, located at the junction of the Tokaido and Nakasendo roads, is famous for its mochi, which has been loved by travelers since the Edo period. It is a famous confectionery with such a long history that it was even depicted in Utagawa Hiroshige's ukiyo-e prints. The traditional taste of mochi made from sticky rice from Kusatsu wrapped in strained bean paste and topped with white bean paste and nerikiri yam is appealing.
