A friend from Yamanashi brought kikyo-shingen-mochi (sticker rice cake bell flower marked).
Shingen is a name of local warlord in the 16c.
While there are many kinds of rice cakes(mochi),
this is made of sticker rice powder kneaded with sugar and
coated with kinako(soy bean powder).
It won the Silver Award at VJC-Japan's Attractive Souvenir Contest 2005.

Each box is individually packaged in furoshiki wrapping style and come with bottled sugarcane syrup .
You eat them with a small wooden spatula called ‘yoji’(attached),
a small fork will do, too.
The whole design struck me as refined.
