Hyōroku mochi

Hyōrokumochi (兵六餅) is a candy which is made and sold by Seika Foods in Kagoshima.

Similar to a rice cake, it is made of maltose starch syrup, nori, powdered green tea, soybean flour, and white bean paste.

It is shaped into a small cube and wrapped in a thin film of edible starch.

Hyōrokumochi was named after Ōishi Hyōroku Yumemonogatari, a Kagoshima book written by Japanese writer Mōri Masanao.

On the box, there is the picture of a young soldier from Kagoshima wearing a fundoshi, the traditional Japanese undergarment for adult males, made from a length of cotton.
