AWESOME TOURS
Take a relaxing break at Cafe TAIRA with a fun, hands-on Japanese snack experience. Using your own personal electric grill, you’ll toast three pieces of "Mochi" (rice cakes) until they are golden and puffy. Each set includes our "Triple-Dip Palette"—three dipping sauces (Sugar-Soy Sauce, Traditional Kuromitsu Brown Sugar Syrup, and Chocolate) —and a cup of hot tea. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a cozy afternoon or evening in the heart of Koyasan.

The Experience
Enjoy the simple joy of mochi eaten fresh off the grill at Cafe TAIRA. We provide you with three pieces of Japanese rice cakes and a personal electric tabletop grill to toast them just the way you like.
Pair your toasty mochi with a cup of hot tea and our trio of dipping sauces:
Sugar-Soy Sauce (Sato-joyu): The most classic way to enjoy mochi in Japan—a simple balance of sweet and savory.
Kuromitsu (Brown Sugar Syrup): A rich, traditional Japanese dark syrup with a deep, caramel-like sweetness.
Smooth Chocolate: A decadent sauce that turns your traditional snack into a delightful modern dessert.
Simply grill the mochi until they expand and turn crispy on the outside. Then, choose your favorite dip and enjoy the perfect contrast of textures and flavors!
