About Zunda Mochi (Mochi with sweet edamame paste)
Zunda mochi is made by boiling green soybeans (edamame) in salted water, crushing them in a mortar, mixing them with sugar, and coating mochi with the paste. It has long been a homemade food in the Miyagi region. The dish is said to have developed as a practical way to provide nourishment, especially when appetite wanes in summer. Its chewy mochi pairs well with the zunda paste, and the vivid green of the edamame makes this rustic local sweet a feast for the eyes.
