  • The appearance of the Fukumen Manju is amazing!

    Chikara Mochiya's Fukumen Manju is based on the mask procession at the nearby Goryo Shrine. Although the name Fukumen sounds auspicious, the motifs are a variety of impressive figures, including a Tengu, a lion, an old man, an ogre, a fire-breathing man, a midwife, an Okame, and Fukurokuju. The fact that they made manju out of masks that don't look appetizing is what's so amazing about it! The simple taste of this long-established shop that has been around for over 300 years is great.

  • It reminds me of the Showa era.

    I stop by here when I go to Hasedera Temple. The retro shop is nostalgic and comforting. They are famous for their gyuhi-riki-mochi, but this time I also bought my husband's favorite suama. My husband has tried suama from many stores, and doesn't often praise it, but he said the suama from this store is delicious. The expiration date is the same day, but I think it's because they don't use any additives that it's so delicious.

  • Famous place for Japanese sweets

    This is a famous Japanese sweets shop near Hasedera Temple.
    Atmospheric appearance.
    Various Japanese sweets are lined up in stores.
    I definitely recommend Chikaramochi.
    The rice cake is wrapped in plenty of red bean paste with just the right amount of sweetness, making it a perfect souvenir.

  • The concept changes

    Purchased 10 chikaramochi.
    The texture is completely different from any rice cake I've ever eaten.
    The sweetness of the red bean paste is refreshing and the mochi is very delicious.

  • A recommended store you must visit!

    A popular store with long lines
    Additive-free red bean paste mochi is very delicious.
    When I want something sweet, I go buy something here.
    Please try Chikaramochi, which you can't get at other restaurants.

  • delicious souvenirs

    I stopped by Chikaramochi shop when I was walking around Hase.
    There are two types of chikaramochi: mochi with plenty of red bean paste and gyuhi, and since I was on a walk this time, I bought the gyuhi. It's small and easy to carry around, and it's great to eat while walking. Soft and just the right amount of sweetness, the bean paste and gyuhi are exquisite! ︎I want to try another chikara mochi next time~(^^)

  • Nice atmosphere

    Since I was featured in Mr. Akio Yoshida's work, I have been able to visit him several times.
    On the days I don't go home, I use the ones with a longer shelf life, but the old-fashioned atmosphere of the shop and the friendly customer service.Of course, the power mochi is soft and delicious enough to be eaten.

  • Mochi that is more chewy than Akafuku!

    I went there after noon on Monday during the hydrangea season.
    I found it when I was walking from Goryo Shrine to the sea!
    I was happy because it was the store I wanted to go to
    Individually wrapped and boxed sweets that last for a long time (forgot the name) are already sold out, so I bought a mochi that looks like Akafuku with red bean paste on it.
    The expiration date is today!
    When I got home and ate it, the bean paste was smooth and the mochi was chewy yet easy to chew.
    Since it is bite-sized, it will be chewy if you put it in your mouth in one bite, so please be careful not to let it get stuck in your throat.
    It was so delicious, and even though it was small, I didn't need dinner for dinner after eating 5 of them.
    The appearance of the old shop is also wonderful.
    This time I bought 10 pieces and konpeito (300 yen), but next time I will choose the one with more!
    And I'd like to eat the sweets of those who were sold out.

  • Traditional flavor

    I had Gongoro Chikara Mochi.
    Same as Akafuku, the outside is red bean paste and the inside is mochi.
    It tastes good!

  • delicious!

    Whenever I pass in front of the Chikaramochiya, it is a regular holiday (Wednesday), and the store is closed in time. .. ..was.

    After visiting the Seven Lucky Gods with my son on April 22nd and finally visiting the Goryo Shrine, I was able to do it by the Chikaramochiya.

    I stopped by the beach with my feet and had the rice cakes I bought.
    "It was soft, smooth and delicious."

    The Chikaramochiya also sold candies and rice crackers, which were also delicious.

    It's going to be a mess.

    I will go buy it again.

  • Haitown diary

    I went for the masked steamed bun that the main character of Umimachi Diary likes.I had imagined that the rice cake tasted like Akafuku, but it was completely different and the sweetness was modest and delicious.Since it is a small shop, the number of people who can enter the shop at one time is limited, and the measures against corona were perfect.

  • Classic

    When I went to Kamakura and Hase, I got a rice cake as a tea confectionery.
    The number of tourists was quite large due to the hydrangea season and Sunday, but I was able to purchase it safely.
    Stable taste and price.I will bother you again.It was a feast.
