It's Hoha-maki season!!
"Hooba maki" is a Japanese confectionery made by wrapping bean paste in a rice cake made by kneading rice flour, wrapping it in magnolia leaves, and steaming it.
In Kiso, it has been made since ancient times as a celebratory mochi for the Dragon Boat Festival, which is held on June 5. It is made using twigs with several leaves attached to one tree as it is, so it has a different appearance and is appreciated as a Souvenirs.
It is sold at many confectionery stores from mid ~ end of May every year. There are also people who come from far away in search of hooba rolls.
It is available until mid-July, so if you come to Kiso this season, please try it at least once!
