There are several types, but we recommend them as they can be purchased for between 100 yen and 150 yen. How about having it during snack time?

Habutae mochi, a new texture born in Fukui

Habutae Mochi is a sweet made with the fine grain and smooth texture of Habutae Ori, a high-quality silk fabric produced in Fukui Prefecture. The secret behind its popularity is its soft texture that slightly melts in your mouth and its subtle, elegant sweetness. By using starch syrup as an ingredient, such a mysterious texture is created. At the Roadside Station, you can enjoy Habutae mochi in a variety of flavors. We have a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, including plain, which is popular for its simple sweetness, kinako flavor, which is popular with children, brown sugar syrup flavor, which is a little more mature, and sweet bean paste flavored, which is perfect for tea. Why not pick up a habutae mochi that interests you?

What kind of dinosaur can you meet? "Dinosaur excavation pudding"

Dinosaur excavation pudding was born out of the desire for people to enjoy it while eating it, and was created with the image of the ``geological strata'' where dinosaurs sleep.

How about one as a memento of your trip to Katsuyama?
