Umegae Mochi Kikuchi

Umegae Mochi Kikuchi is a shop on the approach to Dazaifu Tenmangu that grills warm umegae mochi. The mochi has a crisp outside and a thin, soft rice cake inside filled with sweet red bean paste, made from Tokachi adzuki beans from Hokkaido that are boiled in the shop. Customers receive the freshly grilled mochi on the spot before it is wrapped, and it is also sold for takeout. The flavor is not particularly special, so sharing one is better than buying several.
