Featured Products
Otaki Mochi
A long, grilled rice cake shaped to resemble Nachi Falls. Made with domestically grown glutinous rice and filled with sweet red bean paste using Hokkaido-grown azuki beans. Each piece is grilled to order and served warm.
The mochi’s shape is a visual representation of Nachi Falls. It has a pleasant sweetness, a roasted aroma, and is best enjoyed warm. Perfect for a break during your walk along the approach to the shrine or as a traditional Japanese sweet with tea.
Kishu-ni (Tsukudani & Simmered Dishes)
These simmered dishes and tsukudani (preserved foods cooked in soy sauce) use local ingredients from the Kishu region, prepared by Wakaya Main Store.
With a sweet and savory flavor profile, they are well-suited as souvenirs, and pair well with rice, ochazuke (rice with tea), or sake.
Meisui Kuzumochi
Listed in Wakaya’s catalog (as seen on the Nachikatsuura tourism website), this is a delicate Japanese sweet made from pure water and kudzu starch.
It features a smooth texture and light sweetness, likely to appeal to fans of traditional Japanese confections.
