🎌 Goya Gohei Mochi

The Gohei-mochi from Ena, which has gained immense popularity due to the NHK continuous television drama "Hanbya Rantian," is a beloved local delicacy from the Higashi-Mino region of Gifu Prefecture, crafted into a product that can be easily enjoyed at home. This product is quite popular. The manufacturer of this product, Kokuya Industries, was established in 1970 (Showa 45) with the motto of "Inheriting the traditional taste and aroma," and has been continuously producing local delicacies like Gohei-mochi in Ena City. The rice cakes are made from 100% Gifu-grown glutinous rice, combined with a special walnut sauce made from a soy sauce base mixed with walnuts, sesame, and peanuts, all packaged in vacuum-sealed bags, available in single and three-piece packages. Not only is it suitable as a snack or light meal, but it is also a perfect dish for outdoor BBQs due to its room-temperature storage. The cooking method is very simple. Using the trick of roasting mochi, you can directly bake the rice cakes in an oven or on a baking tray. Once the rice cakes are baked until soft, spread the special walnut sauce over them and bake again. It is recommended to bake until slightly charred, as this enhances the aroma and unique flavor. Additionally, you can also use a microwave for quick preparation.

The special walnut sauce, which is additive-free, is very delicious. The vacuum packaging helps keep the flavor fresh for longer. The process of roasting them yourself is also one of the joys.
