About Anmochi Zōni (Miso soup with sweet bean paste mochi)
During the Edo period, sugarcane and sugar-making techniques were introduced to Sanuki. Sugar—one of the region’s “Three Whites,” along with salt and cotton—was encouraged and began to be produced. Some relatively affluent households used this luxury ingredient in zōni soup, enjoying its sweetness while also treating it as a symbol of wealth. In this way, Anmochi Zōni can be said to have emerged from the land of Sanuki.
