Mochi is a kind of rice cake with a thick, jelly-like texture often used to make dumplings. In Tsukushi mochi it\u2019s square-shaped, packed in little boxes and cut into three pieces. It&#8217;s coated with kinako \u2013 a kind of soy bean powder. Each box has a small sachet of kuromitsu \u2013 a dark honey flavoured with brown sugar. The kuromitsu and kinako are often paired up in Japanese sweets as they complement each other perfectly.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4351\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/tsukushi-mochi-traditional-japanese-sweet\/fukuoka-030\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4351\" class=\"wp-image-4351 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Fukuoka-030-650x488-1.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional style packing, Tsukushi mochi, a kind of Japanese sweet from Fukuoka in its packaging.\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4351\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traditional style packing<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\">Tsukushi Mochi &#8211; Its Beautiful Design<\/h2>\n<p>While the ingredients of Tsukushi mochi are available around Japan in various forms, including ice cream parfaits and chocolate, Tsukushi mochi is unique in its design. Each one is beautifully packaged and comes with a small wooden knife with which to eat it. The boxes are wrapped in paper designed like furoshiki \u2013 a traditional kind of cloth used to wrap gifts, lunch boxes or clothes. You get the sense that each one has been individually prepared and wrapped specially. It\u2019s like a mini dessert you can snack on without the need for any plates or utensils!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/tsukushi-mochi-traditional-japanese-sweet\/fukuoka-031\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4352 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Fukuoka-031-650x488.jpg\" alt=\"Tsukushi mochi, a kind of Japanese sweet from Fukuoka\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Fukuoka-031-650x488.jpg 650w, https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Fukuoka-031-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Fukuoka-031.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you want to try something that perfectly embodies a traditional Japanese sweet, try Tsukushi mochi.

The smallest box available contains three of them and is recommended if you want to sample this traditional flavour. Larger boxes are available, though since mochi needs to be eaten a few days after opening, it would not be a good option to take home. Try this as a special treat! Prices range from around 300 yen for a box of three to 5,400 yen for a large box of 50.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4350\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/tsukushi-mochi-traditional-japanese-sweet\/fukuoka-034\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4350\" class=\"wp-image-4350 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Fukuoka-034-650x488.jpg\" alt=\"Tsukushi mochi, a kind of Japanese sweet from Fukuoka\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Fukuoka-034-650x488.jpg 650w, https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Fukuoka-034-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Fukuoka-034.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ready to eat!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Traditional Japanese sweets have a variety of unique flavours, and Tsukushi mochi is a great way to try some of the most popular.
