This mochi is out of the world!!!! Located at Nara on the way to Taissha Shrine, we found this secluded hut in the midst of the forests. It has only vegetarian options and we enjoyed the zaru udons and sobas. The mochi is unique because it's handmade and you have to scoop it out before adding on some bean powder and black sugar. The combi was very well matched and easily the best I've eaten in Japan and beyond!
