Kanazawa is known as \"Little Kyoto\" and has a rich wagashi culture. Nakataya is famous for its \"Kintsuba mochi,\" a type of sweet made with red beans. Its strict selection of red beans and exquisite filling techniques have earned it the reputation of \"Nakataya of Kintsuba Mochi.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Nakataya's Signature Japanese-Style Golden Rice Cake (12 pieces per box)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCarefully selected red beans from the Dainagon (a high-ranking official in the Chinese court), each bean distinct.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The soul of Nakataya Kintsuba Mochi lies in its red beans. It uses carefully selected high-quality Hokkaido-grown \"Dainagon Azuki\" beans, which are large, thin-skinned, and resistant to breaking during cooking. The artisans use precise heat control to cook the filling, resulting in a plump, glossy texture with distinct individual beans, preserving the original flavor and texture of the red beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThin as a cicada's wing, exquisite craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eUnlike the typical thick-crusted tsuba, Nakataya strives for the ultimate \"thin crust.\" The craftsman wraps the red bean filling in an extremely thin layer of batter and then carefully bakes it on a copper plate. The thin crust and filling blend perfectly, preserving the moisture of the red bean filling while adding a subtle aroma of baked dough, without overpowering the filling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eA delicate sweetness, with just the right amount of saltiness.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e To bring out the natural sweetness of the red beans, a small amount of salt is added to the filling for seasoning. This wonderful \"salted plum\" (referring to the saltiness of the filling) makes the overall taste refreshing and elegant, sweet but not cloying, with a long-lasting aftertaste. Even people who don't like overly sweet food will love it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Contents description:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong\u003eKintsuba Mochi (12 pieces):\u003c\/strong\u003e Nakataya's most classic signature sweet.
