Sex mochi

Sex mochi introduction

It was invented by 'OHARA YUGaku', a peasant leader who was active in the end of the Edo period. The name 'Seigaku mochi' is named after the study 'Seigaku' taught by Yugaku OHARA. The concept of “sex” is based on the harmony of morality and economy, and to live by helping each other according to human conscience. The 'shogaku mochi' was devised after a trial of yugaku, saying that farmers who could not eat 'glutinous rice' which were expensive at that time would want farmers to eat something like mochi. It is steamed twice without powdered 'Uchi rice' and made with moles and pestle as well as mochi-zaki (mochi-zaki machine can also be used). It spread mainly on rice farmers in Katori and Kaiso areas, which were rice sites. Compared to mochi made with glutinous rice, it has excellent preservation in that it does not stick and is widely transmitted and handed down. It is also called 'Tsukinukimochi.'
