About Niken Chaya Mochi
Niken Chaya Mochi (二軒茶屋餅) is a traditional Japanese sweet made of soft, smooth rice cakes filled with sweet red bean paste and coated with roasted soybean flour (kinako). Originally established in 1575, its name comes from the two teahouses, "Kadoya" and "Minatoya," that once lined the banks of the Setagawa River in the heart of Ise. During the Edo period through the early Showa era, this area thrived as a port town welcoming pilgrims traveling across Ise Bay and up the Setagawa River. Many travelers enjoyed this mochi to recharge during their journey. Even today, visitors can savor freshly made Niken Chaya Mochi alongside a cup of Ise tea at the main store, continuing the legacy of its deep history and beloved flavor for generations to come.
