About Shinjō Himekko Zoni

Shinjō Himekko Zoni (新庄ひめっ子雑煮) is a soy sauce-based zoni soup, made with premium-quality "Hime no Mochi" rice cakes produced from certified high-grade rice grown in Shinjō Village. This specialty boasts three remarkable qualities: a fine texture, excellent chewiness, and a gentle sweetness.

Hime no Mochi is incredibly stretchy and pairs beautifully with the refined flavor of soy sauce. Shinjō Village, known for its drastic temperature shifts between warm days and cool nights in summer, provides the ideal climate for cultivating delicious glutinous rice. This unique environment produces Hime no Mochi rice cakes with a snowy white appearance, smooth texture, strong stickiness, and delightful natural sweetness.

When combined with a soy sauce-based clear soup enriched with clams and spinach, Hime no Mochi creates an elegant dish. This local delicacy has become a beloved item, available at roadside stations and eateries throughout the village.
