Rolled in premium kinako (soybean) powder, Warabimochi Kamakura’s freshly made, hand-cut and hand-tossed mochi was the real deal - I say just go straight for the 10-piece Box ($14.90/ $17.90 wooden) every time. Light, soft and delicately chewy with a silken finish, the warabimochi didn’t taste cloying at all. Though I usually avoid the Kuromitsu, their black sugar syrup was also fragrant and added a very pleasant sweetness. I joined the queue slightly before they opened for the day so many people had the same idea of beating the queue and it was like a 20-minute wait but the snaking line moved pretty fast!
