The warabimochi dough arrives every morning from the main store and is turned into "golden warabi" in the store.

[Tsubameya]has its main store in Yanagase, Gifu City. The warabimochi dough made there arrives at the Dai Nagoya Building store every morning, and is carefully handcrafted one by one into "Golden Warabi" just before opening. The dough and kinako are different from the "Tsubame Warabi" sold at the main store, and "Golden Warabi" uses a dough containing pure brown sugar that is soft and meltingly chewy with just the right amount of firmness. The kinako is made from lightly roasted Toyomasari soybeans from Hokkaido. It is yellower than the kinako at the main store because it is purposely "lightly roasted." The dough and kinako go well together, and of course the texture and aroma make this warabimochi perfect for adults.

The dough for "Golden Warabi" is made at the Yanagase main store. It uses pure brown sugar and is kneaded for a shorter time than the "Tsubame Warabi" at the main store.

At the Dai Nagoya Building store, preparations start two hours before opening. The two of them share the work and quickly complete the Golden Warabi.

When cutting warabimochi by hand, it is important to touch the dough for as little time as possible.

The cut pieces of dough are immediately transferred to the bowl next to it, which contains kinako (roasted soybean flour). After being generously coated with kinako, they are carefully packed into boxes.

Warabi mochi packed in a box is soft and sticks easily, so we adjust the inside of the box by adding soybean flour.

The boxes are packed before the store opens, and the item is so popular that it sometimes sells out before the store closes.

Although the expiration date is two days, try it as soon as possible.

The focus is on bringing out the natural flavors of the ingredients.[Tsubameya]All of the sweets at are not too sweet. The "Golden Warabi", warabi mochi and kinako are not too sweet, so you can enjoy the "essence of the taste of the ingredients", such as the natural sweetness and aroma of soybeans, and the lingering sweetness of pure brown sugar. Also, you can use the leftover kinako at home to make another dish and enjoy it to the last drop. Kinako is a surprisingly versatile ingredient, whether you add it to pancake or cookie dough, or mix it with soy milk or milk to make a drink (click here for recipes using kinako). Due to the characteristics of the product, the expiration date of "Golden Warabi" is within 2 days. However, it is a product that you should eat as soon as possible to enjoy the charm of the texture and aroma to the fullest. Due to its convenient location at Nagoya Station, some people stop by before going to other prefectures and choose "Golden Warabi" as a Nagoya souvenir. Be sure to enjoy Nagoya's popular warabi mochi to accompany your time with your loved ones.

"Golden Warabi" (10 pieces for 1,393 yen) is covered in plenty of soybean flour. Other Japanese sweets also have a gentle taste that makes the most of the deliciousness of the ingredients, while still allowing you to taste the strength of the ingredients.

Did you know? The mystical "Sky Warabimochi" that appears irregularly

[Tsubameya]Usually, the main store (Yanagase Main Store) sells "Tsubame Warabi" and the Dai Nagoya Building store sells "Golden Warabi", but there is one type of warabimochi that is sold irregularly and for a very limited number of days, which is almost a phantom. This "Sky Warabimochi" is only sold when they can get hold of the rare roasted green tea made in the beautiful tea fields in the Kasuga district of Ibigawa, Gifu Prefecture, at the foot of Mt. Ibuki, known as the "tea field in the sky". This warabimochi is darker in color and has a richer flavor than the "Golden Warabi", and you can enjoy the fragrant harmony of soybean flour and roasted green tea. If you come across it, don't hesitate to buy it immediately! It's also a luxury to buy both types and "Golden Warabi" to compare the taste.

On the right is "Tenkuu no Warabimochi" (10 pieces for 1,436 yen). The price is from the previous sale.

On the left is "Golden Warabi" and on the right is "Tenkuu no Warabimochi". As for the kinako, the soybean variety and grinding method are specially made for "Tenkuu no Warabimochi", so as you can see, the color of the kinako is also different.
