At the "Kikyo Shingen Mochi Factory Theme Park", you can taste original sweets, as well as a variety of souvenirs and goods, and all-you-can-pack items are also very popular. Now, let's look into the world of Kikyo Shingen mochi!
In Yamanashi Prefecture, there is an ancient custom of offering and eating Abekawa Mochi, mochi covered in soybean flour and brown sugar syrup, during the Obon festival. Kikyo Shingen Mochi has been modernized to be eaten all year round, not just during Obon. Kikyo Shingen Mochi was first sold in 1968 by Kikyoya, a Japanese confectionery shop that opened in 1889. The unique wrapping in a furoshiki cloth, the simple taste of the mochi without any additives, and the rich, fragrant taste of the brown sugar syrup and soybean flour made it popular, and now they produce about 120,000 pieces a day.
In the large site of 11 thousand square meters, there is a huge building with a total floor space of 5000 square meters, in which a lot of sweets of "Kikyoya" are made. What kind of environment and what kind of process will Kikyo Shingen rice cake, which is popular as a souvenir of Yamanashi, be on store shelves? Let's actually tour the shop site that you can not usually know!
As the tour makes its way down the aisle, you can see through the window the state of the factory; you can see a series of streams of "Kikyo Shingen mochi" making from working on the rice cake brickwork to the last packaging.
Where we wrap it in furoshiki at the end, we are doing it by human hands, not by machine. What a piece of wrapping in 5-6 seconds! When I see it wrapped quickly and carefully in a person's hand like this, this sight comes to my eyes when I unwind the furoshiki of "Kikyo Shingen mochi". Please pay attention to skilled craftsmanship by all means.
This is the production of "Kikyo Shingen Raw Pudding". Melting pudding with fresh heavy cream is an exquisite combination of the scent of kinako powder and black nectar. Many children visit in social studies tours of elementary schools, so the machine is named one by one according to its role.
Of course, the packaging of "Kikyo Shingen Shingen Pudding" is also hand-wringing.
You can also tour the production process of "Kikyo Shingen Stick". The "Kikyo Shingen stick," which is like a mini-doughnut made of kinako kneaded dough, then generously impregnated with black nectar and sprinkled with kinako, has gained popularity for its ease of eating and savory taste.

The all-you-can-pack will be held at "Green Outlet 1/2" from 9:00 (during congestion, a numbered ticket is distributed. close as it is sold out). Let's challenge how many packs!
First of all, I anticipate the number of packing in the bag and tell the staff. For beginners, the target is about 10 first. It is a system that you have to buy for 100 yen each if you do not run out of packing, so think carefully! We will pack without gaps while stretching the exclusive plastic bag little by little! Even if the bag is torn, you can challenge as many times as you want. Be careful because I have to do a single tie at the end.
Start packing! First, let's remove the attached pick. We will extend the bottom of the bag as much as possible to form a solid base and pack more and more on it.
The last one, the one-knot is very difficult! If you can clear this... if you have it checked and passed, it is finished. The bag is torn or the one that is not a single-knot will be redone, so be careful.
I'm so satisfied that I can pack 10 pieces! But there are some masters who pack more than 20 pieces... I can only experience it here, so by all means challenge!
