Agematsu Town Souvenirs and Specialties
 Food Specialties |
The main specialties are traditional dishes such as Gohei-mochi (skewered rice cake), Sunki (turnip stems fermented without salt, instead using only lactic-acid bacilli), and Hobamaki (sweets made using red-bean paste wrapped in cakes of kneaded rice flour that are then further bound up in a magnolia leaf), made with fresh seasonal ingredients. In particular, Gohei-mochi ice cream and Doburoku (unrefined sake) taste traditional but innovative, something to try.
